Back in 2010, Martin Zibricky wrote about adding a folder to --onefile.
The method was simply to change the following:
coll = COLLECT(exe, a.binaries, ...
to:
coll = COLLECT(exe, a.binaries + [('testFolder', 'C:/testFolder',
'DATA')], ...
I'm trying to do this now, but I keep getting an "IOError: [Errno 13]
Permission denied" error, even when it's a simple folder containing just
a plain text file. I've tried with various folders in various locations.
The problem is the same. I also confirmed that the above line causes the
error. Removing the + [('testFolder', 'C:/testFolder', 'DATA')] part of
collect results in a perfect build with no errorrs. Here's the traceback:

with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:

Can someone confirm that Martin's approach really works, and perhaps
suggest where I'm going wrong? If you have an alternative approach, that
would be fine, too.
Thank you!
Laurence.
Below is Martin's complete solution:

Pyinstaller should support that. However I didn't use that yet. But:
In your spec file you should tweak the collect section.
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=False,
name=os.path.join('dist', __testname__))
like:
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries +
[('skins', '/my/project/skins', 'DATA')],
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=False,
name=os.path.join('dist', __testname__))
the skins folder should be accessible at runtime like:
os.path.join(os.environ["_MEIPASS2], 'skins'))
