Description

I'm trying to use PyOxidizer to build a zim binary, however it fails as with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "zim", line 40, in <module>
  File "zim.main", line 22, in <module>
  File "zim.fs", line 27, in <module>
  File "zim.signals", line 7, in <module>
  File "gi", line 42, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name '_gi' from 'gi' (unknown location)
ERROR: Could not find python module files in path:


Try setting PYTHONPATH

The required package is PyGObject, is it possible to link it somehow into the app?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how PyOxidizer handles native Python extensions like PyGObject's gi module and determine if there is a way to include them or if a fix is needed in the packaging pipeline.
