The default project created by ``pyoxidizer init`` will produce an
executable that embeds Python and starts a Python REPL by default. Let's
test that::
build that executable, with ``pyoxidizer build``::

$ cd pyapp
$ pyoxidizer run
$ pyoxidizer build
no existing PyOxidizer artifacts found
processing config file /home/gps/src/pyapp/pyoxidizer.toml
resolving Python distribution...
...
Compiling pyapp v0.1.0 (/home/gps/src/pyapp)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 53.14s
Running `target/debug/testapp`
pyapp packaged into /home/gps/src/pyapp/build/apps/pyapp/debug
executable path: /home/gps/src/pyapp/build/apps/pyapp/debug/pyapp

Now just run the executable! The path is given at the end of the
``pyoxidizer build`` output::

$ /home/gps/src/pyapp/build/apps/pyapp/debug/pyapp
>>>

If all goes according to plan, you just started a Rust executable which
started a Python interpreter, which started an interactive Python debugger!
Try typing in some Python code::
Try some Python code into this REPL::

>>> print("hello, world")
hello, world
