Compiling locales into a Pyinstaller Package?

[TheTechRobo]

I was compiling a Python script with

pyinstaller --onefile palc.py

and it works perfectly — except when I try to run it it attempts to use the locales stored in the locales directory (meaning it can't find them if I don't distribute the package with the locales directory). As you can imagine, this is a big drawback.

So my main question is: Is there a way that PyInstaller can compile the python script and add the gettext locales in? Thanks! :)

You can include the locales data in the compiled package with the date file options and then either:

1. Modify the locales search path before the first use of it or
2. Have a post install or pre-run script that copies the data to the appropriate location.
