Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported difference between CPython and PyOxidizer when reading Python source files through importlib.resources. Trace the PyOxidizer packaging and import-resource entry points involved, then compare the behavior with CPython. Done means Python source files can be read through importlib.resources in a PyOxidizer-built application.
