nwversioninfofiles

Introduction

This packages consists of the following modules:

• nwversioninfofiles is a library that facilitates the creation of Version Info Files for PyInstaller.
• nwversioninfofilescli is a command-line application built on the top of nwversioninfofiles.

Getting Started

I'll use Debian as operating system, but the concept is similar for Windows or Mac.

Procedure:

1. Install pip and venv:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3.12-venv

2. Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv /tmp/nwpackageversions
source /tmp/nwpackageversions/bin/activate

3. Download and install the package:

pip install nwpackageversions

4. Enter in the interactive Python environment:

python3

Python 3.12.3 (main, Aug 31 2026, 10:18:26) [GCC 13.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

5. Try out if the library works:

from nwpackageversions import VersionInfoFileVerifier

vinf_verifier : VersionInfoFileVerifier = VersionInfoFileVerifier()

6. Exit from the interactive Python environment:

exit()

7. Try out if the CLI application works:

nwpackageversionscli

8. Deactivate and delete the virtual environment:

deactivate
rm -rf /tmp/nwpackageversions

9. Done!

Examples

Run it with only mandatory arguments:

nwpackageversionscli --company_name "numbworks" --legal_copyright "numbworks" --file_description "An app that does something." --file_version "1.0.0" --product_name "numbworks" --original_filename "app.exe"
