Allow to pass python file path as a parameter

const PYTHON_BRIDGE_SCRIPT = path.join(__dirname, 'node_python_bridge.py');

Most Electron apps pack files into the ASAR archive, so there is no access to node_modules. During build it is possible to copy some resources outside of the ASAR bundle to be accessed later.

Would you accept a PR to provide a custom path to node_python_bridge.py?

Ahhh, I see. Yes, send it this way!

I'm thinking there's probably some spec in package.json that allows us to add files as dependencies that I'm sure Electron picks up, perhaps files [0] ?

@munro I've sent a PR.

AFAIK there is nothing in Electron itself for this, however in one of the popular builders you need to specify those files manually.

Until the PR is landed, I am using this hack to make it work with ASAR: electron/electron#9459 (comment) together with following electron-builder config:

{
  "asarUnpack": ["node_modules/python-bridge"]
}

I am getting a weird error. Does it have any relation with this issue?
errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'spawn python', path: 'python', spawnargs: [ 'path_to/node_python_bridge.py' ]

I found what causing this error, It's just the wrong symlink in my linux system
