Description

Hey, would it be possible to create a Nix package for PyOxidizer? I'm not certain it's feasible for this project, but if possible I think the installation experience would greatly improve.

Unfortunately I'm not able to provide a PR (at least yet) due to my poor nix skills.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Learn the basics of Nix packaging by studying existing Nix packages for Rust projects. Then, create a derivation for PyOxidizer that fetches the source, builds it with Cargo, and installs the binary. Refer to the Nixpkgs manual for Rust packaging guidelines.
