py_binary

Description

Many moons ago in response to not particularly liking the Bazel .runfiles model of laying out dependencies I developed https://git.arrdem.com/arrdem/rules_zapp which attempts to generate more pex-style/vanilla zipapps that directly reflect the intentional sys.path of the packaged artifact.

The original implementation was pretty hacky, and the semantics API has since caught my attention as potentially making it easier for users like myself to recycle large parts of the reference py_binary implementation by just hooking the bits I care about which are what the final output files are and how they're produced.

Obviously it's currently private (and for personal use I'm happy to blithely ignore that) but what's the plan for this particular API and would it be possible to stabilize something like it?
