I think windows together with python 2.7 are hard for getting it to run. Try to use the Docker image to avoid dependency hell

I had the same problem when doing that on w10 and python38. Also, didn't found a proper wheel to avoid to need the compile stuff. So I just want to comment out how I did.

I've opted for something faster, while still running the browser instance into a Windows machine, using Linux subsystem, virtual machine, vps, or anything running linux that compiles that axolot module, then use the Remote() with a single geckodriver or chromedriver instance on the windows machine.

It's easy as run "geckodrive", then use "http://IP:4444" as command_executor in Remote() constructor.

If you're using Linux subsystem, or VirtualMachine security is not an issue. For vps or remote computers, the best if you tunnel all over openvpn or other, then use geckodriver with proper IP listener. See geckodriver/chromedriver -h for reference.

Anyone having a whell for axolot could save us from hell :-)
