Description
Hello! Thank you for this awesome thing!
I want to build portable standalone file for the [xonsh shell](https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh). The xonsh shell is complex app with lazy loading, process management and modern technologies.
I tried to build xonsh with PyOxidizer and faced with errors around __file__s, etc. Before I continue I would like to ask you an advice. May be you can mention some similar complex projects where I can take the experience of solving issues?
Thanks!
