This question is related to differential update of pyinstaller executable (modify embedded PYZ-00.pyz)
I would like to create a pyinstaller distributable, that can easily be hot fixed without wasting too much bandwidth.
The standard pyinstaller approach for embedding python code .pyc files seems to be to put them into a PYZ file (ZLIB archive), adding the PYZ file into a CARchive and append the CArchive to the end of the executable.
I thought, that following solution might help me, tough it will penalize startup time of the program, but this is acceptable.
If possible I would like, that all collected .pyc files will not be added tot he .PYZ file but into a normal .zip file and that this normal zip file will then be added ('collected') into the dist folder.
How could I achieve this?
The answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/68754754/858675 to the other question is almost there and one could just pack up all .pyc files into a .zip file.
However the value of __file__ would be different for the modules and I guess, this might break some existing code if the depend on __file__
