Question

Answer 1

Adding data files and next section using data files from module in pyinstaller docs.

Yes, you should to use package relative path instead of plain relative in your code. Because package will be extracted not relative to execution binary, but somewhere in temp dir. Look for pkg_resources package. For example this function:

dir = resource_filename('your_package', 'app/samples')

To clarify how to define datas in spec look for example:

a = Analysis(['../trunk/__main__.py']
         ...
         datas=[('../src/trunk/your_package/app/samples/data.bin', 'your_package/app/samples')],
         ...
