I installed cx_Freeze a while ago, and recently froze my first program. In all the example setup scripts I've seen, the call to setup() contains several options, including things such as version and description. Why does cx_Freeze want a description of my program? What does it do with that information? Most importantly, what am I missing out on if I don't set that argument?
AFAIK, cx_Freeze doesn't use the description option, but it's a standard part of setup.py files, which use the same mechanism (distutils) that Python has for distributing packages.
I think the version field can be embedded in the executable, though.
