I was just mystified about the utility of these Summary properties vs. versioninfo resources set with py2exe...
They are per-file settings, but, if I filled them in for a .py file, they would persist only on this machine, but not if the file is copied to another Windows box, and are unavailable on the Samba server.

Extra built-in info would be nice, but not worth more effort, to me at least.

Thanks,
Ray
