最近用 wxpython写了一个小的脚本，因为想要发布给没有装python和wxpython的人使用，遂决定使用pyinstaller 2.1进行打包。

其中遇到几个问题：

1,给打包的文件添加图标

　　查看pyinstaller 的操作手册很容易发现：

　　可以在使用的时候，在命令行中执行，不过更推荐的是使用bat文件来执行

　　python pyinstaller.py --icon=targetico_path.ico--onefile   --windowed target_py_file.py进行打包

2，给打包的程序添加版本信息

　　查看pyinstaller 操作手册发现：

　　也就是说要添加版本信息需要指定一个版本信息文件，版本信息文件操作手册中也给了制作方法

Capturing Version Data

pyi-grab_version executable_with_version_resource

The pyi-grab_version command is invoked with the full path name of a Windows executable that has a Version resource. (A Version resource contains a group of data structures, some containing binary integers and some containing strings, that describe the properties of the executable. For details see the Version Information Structures page.)

The command writes text that represents a Version resource in readable form. The version text is written to standard output. You can copy it from the console window or redirect it to a file. Then you can edit the version information to adapt it to your program. This approach is used because version resources are complex. Some elements are optional, others required. When you view the version tab of a Properties dialog, there‘s no simple relationship between the data displayed and the structure of the resource. Using pyi-grab_version you can find an executable that displays the kind of information you want, copy its resource data, and modify it to suit your package.

The version text file is encoded UTF-8 and may contain non-ASCII characters. (Unicode characters are allowed in Version resource string fields.) Be sure to edit and save the text file in UTF-8 unless you are certain it contains only ASCII string values.

The edited version text file can be given with a --version-file= option to pyinstaller or pyi-makespec. The text data is converted to a Version resource and installed in the executable output.

In a Version resource there are two 64-bit binary values, FileVersion and ProductVersion. In the version text file these are given as four-element tuples, for example:

filevers=(2, 0, 4, 0),prodvers=(2, 0, 4, 0),

The elements of each tuple represent 16-bit values from most-significant to least-significant. For example the FileVersion value given resolves to 0002000000040000 in hex.

set_version version_text_file executable_file

The set_version utility reads a version text file as written by pyi-grab_version, converts it to a Version resource, and installs that resource in the executable_file specified.

For advanced uses, examine a version text file. You find it is Python code that creates a VSVersionInfo object. The class definition for VSVersionInfo is found in utils/versioninfo.py in thePyInstaller distribution folder. You can write a program that imports that module. In that program you can eval the contents of a version info text file to produce a VSVersionInfo object. You can use the .toRaw() method of that object to produce a Version resource in binary form. Or you can apply the unicode() function to the object to reproduce the version text file.

 

　　上面的意思呢就是使用pyinstaller内置的grab_version.py工具获得其他.exe程序的版本信息文件，版本信息文件里面包括公司名，程序内部名称版本号之类，然后再把这个信息里面的相关信息更改成你想要的信息，再使用上面的--version-file=version_text_file　参数的把版本信息注射到.exe中去。

　　其中注意因为这个版本信息是严格的数据结构，所以最好不要用notepad打开，有可能导致版本信息文件失效，我用的是notepad++更改，实测有用。

　　其中grab_version.py的位置在.\PyInstaller-2.1\utils，pyinstaller 2.1根目录下的utils目录下。

　　可以在使用的时候，在命令行中执行,需要将当前路径转到该脚本所在地或者指定grab_version.py的路径，不过更推荐的是使用bat文件来执行，只需要将下面字符保存到bat中方到grab_version.py文件里面去了:

　　python grab_version.py targetExe_path

　　比如：

　　python grab_version.py C:\Windows\System32\diskext.exe

　　产生的版本信息文件就在程序的当前目录下，更改好版本信息文件之后就可以开始使用了　

　　python pyinstaller.py --version-file=file_version_info.txt --icon=ico.ico --onefile --windowed target.py

　　OK,问题解决。
