Pyinstaller.exe 不能使用带有 __file__ 的模块

Question

guys! I have a question and need your help!

The question: I have a main Python script named client.py and in it, I import a module called stata_setup.config . But there is a if statements in config.py to judge whether the directory of __file__ is right, so after pyinstaller, when I run the client.exe , it always raise error: "failed to load Stata's shared library" . The error and the related codes in config.py are as follows:

def _get_st_home():
pypath = os.path.normpath(os.path.abspath(__file__))
d_utilities = dirname(dirname(pypath))

if os.path.basename(d_utilities).lower()=="utilities":
    return dirname(d_utilities)
else:
    _RaiseSystemException("failed to load Stata's shared library")

The reason: After searching and learning, I know it's because that the pyinstaller's bootloader changes original directory.

Can anyone please help me? I know the reason, but I don't know how to solve it.

Thanks!

try this method: if os.path.isfile('./stata_setup.config'): . the '.' looks for the file if its in the same directory as the script. if you file is in a folder then it'd look like this if os.path.isfile('./folder/stata_setup.config') . for what ever reason pyinstaller doesn't like using (__file__)
