Description
Similar to https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/issues/434, I'm trying to distribute [gdbgui](https://github.com/cs01/gdbgui) with pyoxidizer, and am getting
```
extension module brotli cannot be loaded from memory but memory loading required
```
brotli is a dependency of my package that I don't know much about. The error message doesn't really mean anything to me, and I don't really know what to do about it.
Is it possible to add some other guidance on options, or a link to a doc to read more? I had success with
```
policy.resources_location_fallback = "filesystem-relative:prefix"
```
as @TheFriendlyCoder mentioned.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by searching the repository for the exact error text and for documentation covering policy.resources_location_fallback and filesystem-relative:prefix. Done means the error or related documentation explains the available options and points users to guidance for Python extension modules that require memory loading.
