How do I use Pyinstaller with an external config file?

[innosilion]

I'm using PyInstaller on Linux to make an EXE file of my project.

I would like to use the --onefile option to have a clean result and an easy-to-distribute file/program.

My program uses a exe.config file for storing configuration options. This file could be customized by users.

How can i do?

Where do you plan to put that config file? If next to executable, you can refer to it relative to the sys.executable. Or you can use something like appdirs to read config file from standard location in user's home directory.

That's not PyInstaller-frozen application.

You are right.
I just use subprocess to run print(sys.executable) .
So, how can i do in the subprocess program.

Why does that no work in subprocess?
Have any workaround for it?

[rokm]

If you are spawning subprocesses that need python interpreter, then there is no point in using PyInstaller in the first place.
