I have made a Python program that is capable of uploading files into Google Drive. The .py file works perfectly and does not give any errors.
But as I'm going to distribute it for people who do not have Python installed, I must turn the program and the resources into a .exe. I have done this with cx_Freeze. I have used it before and it has always worked.
But now, the Google Drive API seems to be causing errors when the .exe is run. Here are the errors it gives:

It gives this error after the user has typed in the authorization code.
After some debugging, I found out that the line causing this problem was
credentials = flow.step2_exchange(code)
Here is a snippet of the code:
flow = OAuth2WebServerFlow(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, OAUTH_SCOPE, REDIRECT_URI)
authorize_url = flow.step1_get_authorize_url()
webbrowser.open(authorize_url)
code = raw_input('Enter verification code: ').strip()
credentials = flow.step2_exchange(code)
http = httplib2.Http()
http = credentials.authorize(http)
drive_service = build('drive', 'v2', http=http)
The CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, OAUTH_SCOPE and REDIRECT_URI are all configured correctly.
So, what could be the problem here?
If you need to see more code, ask and I will update this question.
Looks like it can't find your SSL certificates. This is kind of understandable because httplib2 loads them from the file system, and nothing tells cx_Freeze to put them in the bundled package.
