I have a feature branch where I'm intermittently working on the bootstrapping changes described in PEP 432.

As part of those changes, I've cleaned up a few aspects of the repo layout: * moved the main executable source file from Modules to a separate Apps directory

Sounds fine (I don't like "Apps" much, but hey :-)).

* moved the freezeimportlib and testembed source files from Modules to a separate Tools directory

Well, they should probably go to Apps too, no?

* split the monster pythonrun.h/c pair into 3 separate header/impl pairs: * bootstrap.h/bootstrap.c * shutdown.h/shutdown.c * pythonrun.h/pythonrun.c

I don't think separating bootstrap from shutdown is a good idea. They are quite closely related since one undoes what the other did (and they may also use shared private functions or data). I don't know what goes in the remaining "pythonrun.c", could you detail a bit?

Regards

Antoine.
