What does a “version file” look like?

Question

I\'ve been googling this for ages now without results. The PyInstaller manual says:

--version-file=FILE
    add a version resource from FILE to the exe

Answer 1

Please note that the version file uses Python code, so you can give it the .py extension rather than .rc.

This will allow you to see it formatted nicely in your IDE, to check for errors (ignore "Unresolved References", of course), and to do anything else Python allows you to do.
