[issue14928] Fix importlib bootstrapping issues

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com> added the comment:

There are some additional challenges potentially posed by suggestions like http://bugs.python.org/issue10399, which would allow the compiler itself to use Python extensions.

However, those could be overcome by requiring that the compiler support running with any such extensions disabled.

Two more possible APIs:
  A -X option: "-Xbootstrap=Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py"
  Allow frozen modules to be frozen as *source* rather than as a PYC file, then freeze importlib._bootstrap as source rather than as bytecode.
