configparser.NoSectionError:No section:'XXX'

Question

I want to configure a config. ini and read it. When I run the code in pycharm, it's okay and it returns the result normally. But when I use pyinstaller to package .PY into an .EXE file, it will report an error:

Congparser.NosectionError: No section:'config'

If there are any suggestions, I would be very grateful. By the way, the. EXE file and. INI file are in the same folder, I use Python3.7 on Windows10

I'm a Python rookie. I don't know how to solve the error in cmd. I try to output the path in pycharm. The result is very normal.

# coding = gbk

import  configparser

import os

curpath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
cfgpath = os.path.join(curpath, "config.ini")
print(cfgpath)
print(os.path.realpath(__file__))


conf = configparser.ConfigParser()


conf.read(cfgpath)


items = conf.items('config')
l2 = [items[0][1],items[1][1],items[2][1],items[3][1]]
print(items)
print(l2)

Results in pycharm：

E:\untitled\venv\Custom_formula\config.ini
E:\untitled\venv\Custom_formula\config_data.py
[('server', '127.0.0.1'), ('user', 'sa'), ('pwd', '123456'), ('db', 'test')]
['127.0.0.1', 'sa', '123456', 'test']

Results in CMD:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "config_data.py", line 25, in <module>
  File "configparser.py", line 848, in items
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'config'
[9080] Failed to execute script config_data

Thanks for Rolf of Saxony! I solved this problem by change

curpath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

to

curpath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[0]))

it turns out that the resluts in pycharm are different from those in EXE, hopefully this will help more people
