Description

wow, i spent hours reading how great pyoxidizer is and didn't find a simple instructions how to convert foo.py to foo.exe
the documentation is targeting the wrong audience you talk "Rust" most of the time for python people, this is a packaging tool for python, i know it is written in rust but as a user it is too much reading,

> simple is better than complex

anyhow,
good luck with your project, and hope to find it working,
i am sorry if my words is dry, at the end of the day you put a lot of effort and time in this project and gave it to people for free, and my critics is solely to give you a feedback to enhance your project

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current PyOxidizer documentation and its Python packaging guidance, especially the path from a simple foo.py to foo.exe. Done means Python users can find concise instructions for that workflow without needing to read Rust-focused material first.
