Path("__file__").parent to read csv and pkl appears not to be working

I had previously deployed to GitHub pages using this app,

https://github.com/erikhall6373/heisman/blob/4820a8d252ae87b939719236f4bde2497396434f/Shiny_App/app.py

However now it appears that the Path(file).parent or Path("file").parent trick does not work for me. Did recently change to using pd.read_pickle. Just wanted to point to a time in which app working reading in data.

Using Path(__file__) should still work, as shown in this example: https://shinylive.io/py/examples/#read-local-csv

I've also tested locally with the shinylive python package 0.6.0, and running shinylive export works fine with the same files.

If you are running into the problem upon a redployment using a new version of shinylive, it's possible that it's due to some incompatibility in the pickled model object. I'm guessing it's from the statsmodels package?

A recent version of shinylive updated to Pyodide 0.26.2, which has Python 3.12.1, and it includes statsmodels version 0.14.2. If your pickle file was made with a different version of Python and/or statsmodels, then it might not load properly with the updated versions of Python and statsmodels. If that's the case, I suggest recreating the model with those versions of Python and statsmodels.
