I am developing an executable app with a GUI including help support using pyinstaller 5.7.0.
All the help is in a dictionary in one .py file which is imported. I’d like to be able to keep the file from being part of the build and have the executable read the file when it starts so that I can make changes without having to rebuild the executable; similar to saving and recalling configurations in INI files.

My project runs with no problems in PyCharm, but when I create an executable I get this error.

I have never used pyinstaller before and I’m running into problems building an executable with all the required sub-modules.
