After compiling my code with pyinstaller, I seem to no longer be able to reference my promoted widget, as the qobjectcreator module lost track of where the header of the promoted widget is, presumably because pyinstaller moves the dependencies a bit and the code structure became messed up. Here is what my file structure looks like (before compilation):
application
├── app.py
├── folder1
│ ├── promotedWidget.py
│ └── dialog.py
├── uifolder
│ ├── app.ui
│ └── dialog.ui
└── app.spec
Note, the ui that contained the widget promotion is dialog.ui, and it made a reference to promotedWidget.py with the header folder1/promotedWidget in Qt Designer. This worked when I run app.py normally, the dialog opened with no issues but when I tried to run it after compilation the following error occured:

Has anyone encountered the same issue before, and if yes what was your solution?
