[issue20884] importlib/__init__.py can not be loaded without __file__ - breaks cxFreeze

[Jurko Gospodnetić]

Jurko Gospodnetić added the comment:

Ask per Nick's instructions I tweaked cx_Freeze to import a dummy
package as frozen. The dummy package has the following structure:

  gugu/
    __init__.py

and its __init__.py file contains only the 8 bytes '__file__'
(does not include the quotes).

Then running a frozen executable based on a script with the following content:

  import gugu

results in a NameError due to the name '__file__' not being
recognized.

You can see more detailed information at:

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
