Currently we are freezing the modules that are imported during startup. However, if someone uses "python -m module" then the runtime imports the runpy module and uses it. Given that this case is quite common, runpy and its dependencies should be frozen.

Thanks Kumar!

I noticed that the types module is only used for ModuleType. PR #74214 gets rid of 205 kB object code:

205K Python/deepfreeze/types.o
