Another thing that I think is of interest is whether the application support modifying the version and description of the exe (that is, on Windows, when you right-click on an application and choose 'properties' you view the version number and description of the application, it is a resource inside the exe). I think py2exe supports it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
