I am stuck with an unusual problem. I have a GUI code written in Python PyQt5. It has images, put inside an image folder and many python files. This GUI is working fine in Pycharm. I am able to generate a standalone executable file for this project using Pyinstaller. When i run the exe , no images are visible in GUI . i have really tried hard and searched a lot of internet for the same , but still i am not getting this concept of getting the images . please help me for this .

img = QPixmap(":/results_drawing.jpeg")
img = img.scaledToWidth(380, Qt.FastTransformation)
resultsStaticImg = QLabel("")
resultsStaticImg.setPixmap(img)
resultsStaticImg.setStyleSheet("border-style: outset;text-align:center;border-width: 4px;border-radius: 10px; border-color: #00bfff;")
window.logoLayout.addWidget(resultsStaticImg, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)

Some questions (all separate):

Have you included this image file as an additional file?
While using a one-directory build, can you see the file that you are referencing in QPixmap?
Have you tried printing out the exact path that QPixmap will look for that file for at runtime and checked that the file exists?
