Is there a way to specify the actual location of a file compiled with Pyinstaller (--onefile) and not the temporary _Meixxxx folder

Recently I've been working on a Python project that requires human interaction with other files. I compiled it to one file. I tried to get the absolute path to that compiled file. However, everything the internet has suggested leads me to the _Meixxxx temp folder. Although useful, it's not very well situated for human interaction. Is there any way that I can find the absolute path to my exe file and not the _Meixxxx folder?

I've tried several things including:

os.cwdir
os.path.dirname

Thank you for any help in advance

EDIT:

Thanks to @johnashu

os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

This seems to correctly find the path of the file location

As @johnashu suggested

os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

should give you the actual location for your exe file
