Description
MacOS - Catalina 10.15.6
https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html
First I installed as follows, it installed 0.7.0 but apparently doesn't know that itself...
% brew install rust
% brew install rustup
% cargo install pyoxidizer
% pyoxidizer
PyOxidizer UNKNOWN

Build and distribute Python applications
USAGE:
pyoxidizer [FLAGS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
--verbose Enable verbose output
SUBCOMMANDS:
add Add PyOxidizer to an existing Rust project. (EXPERIMENTAL)
analyze Analyze a built binary
build Build a PyOxidizer enabled project
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
init-config-file Create a new PyOxidizer configuration file.
init-rust-project Create a new Rust project embedding a Python interpreter
list-targets List targets available to resolve in a configuration file
python-distribution-extract Extract a Python distribution archive to a directory
python-distribution-info Show information about a Python distribution archive
python-distribution-licenses Show licenses for a given Python distribution
run Run a target in a PyOxidizer configuration file
run-build-script Run functionality that a build script would perform
Then I tried the interactive prompt, which worked...
pyoxidizer init-config-file pyapp
cd pyapp
pyoxidizer run
Then I tried adding run_eval="import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4())", which also worked.
At the next step I got the error... Change the line above to run_eval="from pyflakes.api import main; main()", and then add the line exe.add_in_memory_python_resources(exe.pip_install(["pyflakes==2.1.1"]))
When run, I get the following message...

Research direction
Reproduce the Getting Started steps on macOS Catalina, including the pyflakes installation command, then inspect pyoxidizer.bzl at line 116 and the linked Getting Started documentation. Check why pip_install is called on a PythonExecutable and verify the documented workflow completes and runs the pyflakes example successfully.
