Pyinstaller fails with adding matlab.ctf file into binary

[Lang Yu]

Hi,

I am experiencing error in adding matlab.ctf file into binary in the spec file after 5.10.0.

The error happens in 

 self.__postinit__()

the error is 

  File "3.8.13/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/macholib/MachO.py", line 171, in load_header

    raise ValueError("Unknown Mach-O header: 0x%08x in %r" % (header, fh))

ValueError: Unknown Mach-O header: 0x504b0304 in <_io.BufferedReader

I think it is related with this change: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/7522

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Best,

Lang

Binaries in PyInstaller is specific to .dylib or executable files. That matlab.ctf file isn’t either — it’s just a data file. Add it to datas instead.
