PyInstaller PyQt5 how to add ui file?

Question

Python

HELP! Hello ! I collect file.py into EXE pyinstaller file.py --onefile --noconsole --add
-data file.ui
Everything is assembled
In the dist folder I run EXE
writes fatal error!
but when I add file.ui to dist it works as it should
, but this is not just one EXE)
the question is how to push file.ui into EXE

Answer 1

Phew, just now I realized, the ui file must first be converted into a python with the command:
pyuic5.exe xxx.ui -o xxx_window.py -x -d
then import it, and only then slip it into pyinstaller.

Answer 2

In general, the documentation for PyInstaller has about the --add -data option and about how the compiled binary will work with attached data data at runtime. As for Windows - I don’t have tea in my soul, well, in one project under ubuntu I have such a function for extracting files from the data folder :

def bundle_data_path(path):
    if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
        bundle_dir = sys._MEIPASS
    else:
        bundle_dir = os.path.join(
            os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)),
            'data'
        )

    return os.path.join(bundle_dir, path)

...
        # work with data.json
        with open(bundle_data_path('data.json')) as data_file:
            data = json.load(data_file)
            list1 = data['list1']
            list2 = data['list2']
