Figured it out. See below for an example of how to load resources files
from _MEIPASS. My data files were in a ../data directory and my final exe
entry in the spec file was this:
exe = EXE(pyz,
Tree('C:\\full\\path\\to\\data', prefix='data\\'),
a.scripts,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
debug=False,
strip=None,
upx=True,
console=True
