I am trying to compile a python script into an executable. I am using pyinstaller for this. However, this script relies on another file called "secrets.json" can I use the --onefile flag when creating the executable?

Yes, even if you have an extra file you can bundle it using the --onefile flag with PyInstaller. To explicitly pass the file to PyInstaller use this syntax:
pyinstaller --onefile file.py secrets.json
Doing this will embed the extra file directly in the executable bundle.
