Thanks to everyone who works on pyinstaller!

The installation instructions for a package I work with are:

 * install Python
 * install Pipx
 * pipx install package

So I had the idea that all 3 steps could be combined into a single 
executable that just does this:

    from pipx import main

    parser = main.get_command_parser()
    args = parser.parse_args(args=["install", "someprogram"])

    main.run_pipx_command(args)

I went this route rather than directly packaging my app because I thought 
that the process of debugging it would have value to the entire PIP 
ecosystem rather than just my (also rather complicated) app.

It builds, but unfortunately, it fails on run.

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 671, in _load_unlocked
  File 
"/Users/pprescod/.venvs/CCI-38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py",
 
line 493, in exec_module
    exec(bytecode, module.__dict__)
  File "pipx/venv.py", line 27, in <module>
  File "pkgutil.py", line 637, in get_data
  File 
"/Users/pprescod/.venvs/CCI-38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py",
 
line 341, in get_data
    with open(path, 'rb') as fp:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/Users/pprescod/code/installer/dist/foo/pipx/venv_metadata_inspector.py'
[67243] Failed to execute script foo

Has anyone tried this? Is the problem obvious?
