如何从需要在单独文件夹中读写 .txt 文件的 .py 文件创建 python 可执行文件

Question

I've created a python gui that can store information about the user writing .txt files in a separate folder named encrypted passwords. So it has lines like

file = open(file='encrypted passwords\\first password.txt', mode='w')
file.write('123456')
file.close()

and

password = open(file=('encrypted passwords\\first password.txt'), mode='r').read()

and

os.unlink('encrypted passwords\\first password.txt')

The python script and the 'encrypted passwords' folder are in the same folder and when I run it get no problems.

But when I have created the .exe file using pyinstaller it did not work because it had no 'encrypted passwords' folder!

If I added manually a 'encrypted passwords' folder it worked but is there a way in order to not manually add the folder?

You can check if folder exists and create it only if it not exists

import os

if not os.path.exists('encrypted passwords'):
    os.makedirs('encrypted passwords')

In newer Python you can use exist_ok=True to skip when folder exists

import os

os.makedirs('encrypted passwords', exist_ok=True)
