How to import a maturin-generated .pyd module in pyoxidizer executable

Hi I've been trying for two long days to import a python extension module (pyd) that comes from a personal rust project converted to a python module via maturin/pyo3. I have this single .pyd file that can be imported in a regular python project, but not with pyoxidizer. I've read a lot of documentation and still I can't get it to work.
Please help

Start by reading PyOxidizer's documentation and entry points for packaging Python extension modules, then compare how the maturin/PyO3-generated .pyd is imported in regular Python with the PyOxidizer executable. A useful outcome would be a reproducible import configuration or a documented limitation, but the issue does not name a file or test to run.
