Description

I guess this is less a feature request as a call to see whether anyone has done this before (apologies if this is not the right venue for this): create an executable binary with PyInstaller that includes asyncpg. I've tried today, but had problems with the binary/C parts of asyncpg, and could not get it to include everything necessary. If anyone has done so successfully, would they mind sharing their implementation?

Research direction

The issue mentions asyncpg and PyInstaller but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the reported packaging failure and identifying which asyncpg binary components PyInstaller omits; done would require a documented working inclusion procedure or a clearly scoped repository change.
