Load modules from memory instead of extracting to disk?

[lorengordon]

Hello, I'm new to PyApp, but recently got it working. I have previously mostly used Pyinstaller. Though I also tried PyOxidizer, until it was deprecated. One of the things I was amazed by PyOxidizer was just how blazing fast the built binaries were. My understanding is that speed came from it's ability to load modules from memory, rather than extracting them to disk.

I was hoping PyApp was doing something similar, considering it is also using Rust to compile the binary, but it seems not. Have you used PyOxidizer yourself? Is loading modules from memory something that PyApp might consider as an option?
