Hi All,
I have created an application with PyQt5 and bundled it using Pyinstaller. The application loads login info from a login.properties file that is stored in the same directory as the .py file that starts the app. As suggested here <https://blog.aaronhktan.com/posts/2018/05/14/pyqt5-pyinstaller-executable> I am modifying the path with the following function: import os, sys# Translate asset paths to useable format for PyInstaller def resource_path(relative_path): if hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'): return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, relative_path) return os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'), relative_path) What it causes, is that it creates a temporary folder called _MEIPASS, that contains the files, like my login.properties. In the app, I want to save the login.properties info with the following function: self.loginFile = resource_path('./login.properties') def save_login_info(self): config = configparser.ConfigParser() config.read(self.loginFile) pw = self.login_ui.password_lineEdit.text() un = self.login_ui.username_lineedit.text() token = self.login_ui.token_lineEdit.text() alias = self.login_ui.gmail_alias_lineedit_2.text()... config.set('Login', 'password', pw ) config.set('Login', 'username', un ) config.set('Login', 'security_token', token ) config.set('Login', 'alias', alias) with open(self.loginFile, 'w') as loginfile: config.write(loginfile) print('Login info saved') So the changed login info is saved to the temporary file/folder and it is not saved to the 'original' file. Any ideas how to mitigate this problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
