Description
It might be nice if there were a `run_script` option that someone could just specify the path to a single python file and run that. Right now this requires a bit of boilerplate because it seems to require having to create a package.
Anyway, it took me a while to set this up and this looks like a nice project, but I found out that I'm not able to use it because #69 doesn't have a solution that doesn't require fixing downstream dependencies. So this feature request is just my suggestion and I don't personally need it.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how PyOxidizer currently configures Python packages and scripts, then determine where a run_script path would fit without requiring a package. Done means a single Python file can be specified and executed, with coverage for the new configuration path.
