This PR aims to stop using
Py_FrozenFlag, solving one of the C API deprecation in #2588The initial version of this PR does so by deprecating
pythoncom.frozenin favor ofgetattr(sys, "frozen", False).This is mainly motivated by the side-effect hack importing
win32comdoes onpythoncom.frozen.An alternative is to give more utility to
pythoncom.frozenby officially making it a wrapper togetattr(sys, "frozen", False)allowing users to simply usepythoncom.frozeninstead of messing withgetattrthemselves. But I think it's fair to ask if it's pywin32's job to offer a helper property-like attribute to an optionalsysattribute unrelated to Windows ? (if pywin32 uses its own helper though, that's fine).
