Dear Duane, Brénainn, I did essentially what Brénainn suggested, although I did not see their reply until now; so I figured it out myself, and very much the hard way ;) I simply copied the file config.ini file into my script’s dir and used the flag —add-data config.ini:pynbody
The trick is, as Brénainn mentioned, to understand that the dir structure of packages within the Python dist are mirrored by the temporary dir created at runtime. So my app was looking for the file within the <temp dir path>/pynbody but it was not there; also, —add-data config.ini:. did not help as this was binding the file into the parent dir. Hope this helps others in similar situations. Thor.
