I am currently working on a Python project that reads in shape files using geopandas. Data is then written to a .csv file in another directory. When I run the python code directly I have no issues. Everything works as intended.
However, I need to be able to package this program as an .exe to distribute to customers. I am using PyInstaller to create the .exe. In testing the .exe file I am getting an error at some point around when the .shp files are being read in and when the data is being written to .csv. The error text is "fiona.errors.driver_error permission denied". I'm not sure why I wouldn't have a permission problem with the .py file, but then have a problem with the .exe file.

fiona.errors.DriverError:
I thought maybe it had to do with relative file paths, but I tried hard-coding the file paths just to ensure that wasn't the issue and I still got the same error.
Any advice or theories are appreciated.
