Description

First of all, this is a very exciting project, thank you for building and sharing!

I was trying out pyoxy as a single file Python distribution but when I try to install pip with it using the officially recommended ensurepip or get-pip.py methods I get the error about missing "__file__". I've seen issue #69 but was not able to identify a workaround to get pip to play nicely. I wanted to open a distinct issue since I know pyoxidizer seems able to use pip to see if I was overlooking something to get pyoxy to play nice with the installers.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing "__file__" error with pyoxy using both ensurepip and get-pip.py, then read issue #69 for related context. Done means pip installs successfully through an officially recommended method, or the limitation and a supported workaround are documented.
