Real path to config.ini in python binary *app in MacOS

I have this code:

def _read_config(self):
    config = configparser.ConfigParser()
    config.sections()
   # I tried 
    path_main = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
   # and this after create exec file with pyinstaller nothing changed
    path_main = os.getcwd() 
    print(path_main)
    file = os.path.join(path_main, "config.ini")
    print(file)
    config.read(file)
    return config

When I run the code in MacOS using the terminal with python gui.py, it prints this:

/Users/telos/Desktop/Telos-Monitor-Tool/client
/Users/telos/Desktop/Telos-Monitor-Tool/client/config.ini

But when I do pyinstaller --onefile --windowed gui.py, I receive 1 app file, when I run it I get this: 

/Users/telos
/Users/telos/config.ini

But the one file app and ``gui.py` is in the same directory.

So I have an error because the Python parser can't find config.ini.

As in comennt discasion advise me to use print(QtCore.QCoreApplication.applicationDirPath()) after recreating app, i have 2 file 1 gui.app, 2-nd gui.exec. gui.exec find config.ini fine and all work fine, but gui.app can't and send the error.

Any idea what is the problem?

Since you are using PyQt5 if you want to get the executable folder you can use:

QtCore.QCoreApplication.applicationDirPath()
