How to add DLL file to pyinstaller packaging?

Question: How do I specify in Pyinstaller to add a (dll) file to compile, that it otherwise cannot find? The goal is to have a working .exe file.

Background: I am trying to compile a Python app with Pyinstaller (Windows 10). The code executes fine before compilation.

import teradatasql

# ESTABLISH CONNECTION
con =  teradatasql.connect(host='myhostaddress', 
            user='myuser',
            password='mypass'
            )

Problem: However, after compiling it seems that the traceback mentions that the "teradatasql.dll" file is missing (presumably this is the causes for the .exe failing to execute).

One of my team members wrote a blog post about how to use PyInstaller to package the Teradata SQL Driver for Python.

You need to specify PyInstaller's --add-binary option with a path argument for the teradatasql.dll file.
