Missing file in compiled py2exe app selenium
Question: I am trying to get my Selenium app to work. It compiles everything, but when I
open the app it gives me this:

    
    
    C:\Python34\dist>browse.exe
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "browse.py", line 9, in <module>
    File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\webdriver.py",
    line 43, in __init__
    self.profile = FirefoxProfile()
    File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\firefox_profile
    .py", line 64, in __init__
    WEBDRIVER_PREFERENCES)) as default_prefs:
    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Python34\\dist\\lib
    rary.zip\\selenium\\webdriver\\firefox\\webdriver_prefs.json'
    

I'm using py2exe to bundle, and Firefox as my browser driver.

Setup.py:

    
    
    from distutils.core import setup
    import py2exe
    
    setup(
    console=['browse.py'],
    options={
            "py2exe":{
                    "skip_archive": True,
                    "unbuffered": True,
                    "optimize": 2
            }
    }
    )

building-executable)

You have to manually copy both webdriver.xpi and webdriver_prefs.json from
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox to
dist\selenium\webdriver\firefox
