I'm trying to use PyOxidizer to build a zim binary, however it fails as with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "zim", line 40, in <module>
  File "zim.main", line 22, in <module>
  File "zim.fs", line 27, in <module>
  File "zim.signals", line 7, in <module>
  File "gi", line 42, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name '_gi' from 'gi' (unknown location)
ERROR: Could not find python module files in path:

Try setting PYTHONPATH

The required package is PyGObject, is it possible to link it somehow into the app?

It isn't obvious from this report what is going on. Probably PyGObject making assumptions about modules being on the filesystem.

You can try using an app-relative install rule for zim / PyGObject work around this. https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#install-locations
