Description

Zipimport and packing of lib, python allows you to append zip file to lib path and import from it. it would be nice to have option to export lib files to lib.zip and import from zip. I tried currently but oxidized path doesn't seem to handle well.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PyOxidizer's existing handling of library paths and packaged lib files, with attention to how Python imports from them. Reproduce the reported problem with a zip file on the library path, then define completion as successfully exporting library files to lib.zip and importing from that archive.
