I've wrote GTK application with python.
All graphical user interface is in glade file, and there are some images used. I wish to compile my application into EXEcutable file. For that I'm using PyInstaller compiler and UPX packer.
I've done as manual says:
python Configure.py
python Makespec.py --onefile --windowed --upx /path/to/yourscript.py
python Build.py /path/to/yourscript.spec
PyInstaller works perfectly and create one exe file. But to make my application work correctly i have to copy my glade and image files into exe's folder.
Is there any way to compile those files into executable?
I've edited my spec file in various ways but i can not achieve what i want. Spec file below only copies file to directory, but does not compile into executable file

a = Analysis([os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\_mountzlib.py'), os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\useUnicode.py'), 'r:\\connection\\main.py'],
pathex=['C:\\Documents and Settings\\Lixas\\Desktop\\pyinstaller-1.5-rc1'])
pyz = PYZ(a.pure)
exe = EXE( pyz,
a.scripts,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
name=os.path.join('dist', 'NetworkChecker.exe'),
debug=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
console=False,
icon='r:\\connection\\ikona.ico' )
coll = COLLECT(
exe,
[('gui.glade', 'r:\\connection\\gui.glade', 'DATA')],
[('question16.png', 'r:\\connection\\question16.png', 'DATA')],
# a.binaries,

I wish to have only one executable file with everything included into
With a few changes, you can incorporate everything into your source code and thus into your executable file.
If you run gdk-pixbuf-csource
on your image files, you can convert them into strings, which you can then load using gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_inline()
.
You can also include your Glade file as a string in the program and then load it using gtk.Builder.add_from_string()
.
