[PyQt] Finding the app folder under pyqtdeploy

[Alexander Zäch]

Hi,

scripts using PyInstaller can use

import sys
import os
...
if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
    # we are running in a |PyInstaller| bundle
    basedir = sys._MEIPASS
else:
    # we are running in a normal Python environment
    basedir = os.path.dirname(__file__)

(from the PyInstaller manual)

to check if "frozen". sys._MEIPASS contains the path to the folder containing
your script. I prefer using an attribute to sys like PyInstaller or cx_freeze
do. This would make pyqtdeploy a bit more compatible to PyInstaller/cx_freeze.
