cx_Freeze安装脚本中的description选项有什么作用？

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
