Include javascript file within python executable file

[rsraman@…]

I use python to generate html pages to display a set of plots. The page includes javascript functions to dynamically update the contents of the page.

In a python source implementation, I open the javascript file and write it's contents to the webpage I am generating using python. The javascript file is in the same folder as the other python scripts. The execution is done via: python <Name of top level script> <optional parameters>

To access the javascript file within the python scripts, I do the following: file_path = sys.path[0]; (path to the python top level script) fopen( file_path + 'Name of .js file' )

This obviously does not work when I generate an executable using pyinstaller. sys.path[0] will be some OS determined location. Would it be possible for pyinstaller to include the javascript file as well within the exe file? I suppose I can then say, fopen( 'Name of .js file' )

Much appreciate your help!

I suggest reading the manual: http://www.pyinstaller.org/export/1899/trunk/doc/Manual.html#accessing-data-files
