Adding this to an existing Python project should be more straight forward #87

Currently if you have an existing Python project, the flow is like this:

cd myproject
pyoxidizer init .

and then you have to open pyoxizider.toml and fix the name from .. Cargo.toml already figured out the project name from the directory though.

I agree this workflow could be better.

There's also pyoxidizer add, which is half-baked. But that's more for adding PyOxidizer to an existing Rust project. There should be something nicer for adding PyOxidizer's scaffolding to an existing Python project.
