If the ``freeze_support()`` line is omitted then trying to run the frozen
executable will raise :exc:`RuntimeError`.
If the module is being run normally by the Python interpreter then
:func:`freeze_support` has no effect.
Calling ``freeze_support()`` has no effect when invoked on any operating
system other than Windows. In addition, if the module is being run
normally by the Python interpreter on Windows (the program has not been
frozen), then ``freeze_support()`` has no effect.
