[Py2exe-users] A faster modulefinder

[Thomas H. <th...@py...>]

For not too small py2exe-projects, the runtime of modulefinder is quite
long.  For me, the time to find all 533 modules I currently have in my
library.zip, it takes around 48 seconds.

So, I profiled the Python 2.4 modulefinder, and patched it for a speedup
of a factor of ~2.5 - the time required to find the modules drops to
around 19 seconds.

I'll attach a diff against the stock Python 2.4 modulefinder in case
anyone is interested (if it makes more sense to post the complete module
please let me know).
