Issue with shiv packages greater than 2GBs.
Any shiv package(.pyz) greater than 2 GB fails to execute on python.
Getting the below error with a simple shiv package that contains a main file that prints Hello World, and some random data files crossing the 2GB mark (can be a data file, a zip file or whatever unrelated)
Error - cannot find 'main' module in abc.pyz

On removing some of the redundant data files so that the size becomes less than 2 GB, the package becomes functional again.

This sounds as though it should be reported to the Shiv maintainers. (This tracker is for core Python, and Shiv isn't part of core Python.)

If the Shiv problem turns out to be due to an underlying core Python bug, this issue can be re-opened with more details.
