This reduces the size of the data segment by 300 KB of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in bpo-29118 (comment). Note: There is a new option
--deepfreeze-onlyin freeze_modules.py to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.# du -s ./python before
27892 ./python
# du -s ./python after
27524 ./python

https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.11.html#c-api-changes documents the addition of the "is_package" member to the _frozen structure, but it doesn't mention the new "get_code" member. Can it be also documented?
