ProgramVer

A Python version of Microsoft's winver — a copyright and licence window you drop into your own program.

Status

Currently broken as shipped.ProgramVer() loads imgs/dfdlogo.gif, which is not in the repository, so the window fails before it appears. The two buttons read LICENSE.txt and EULA.txt, neither of which exists either.

The test suite passes — it mocks every file access and every widget — so CI is green and the program still cannot start. Details and suggested fixes are in docs/internal/known-issues.md.

The template is sound and the customisation points are real; it needs its assets back.

Key Features

• A winver-style window: logo, program name and version, trademark notice, licence blurb.
• Open License and Open EULA buttons that display the full text in their own windows.
• Importable as a function, so you can wire it to your own program's About menu.
• Python-Powered badge included.
• Pure standard library — Tkinter only.
• Cross-platform.

git clone https://github.com/willtheorangeguy/ProgramVer

Note the window itself currently displays a GPL blurb and a different copyright holder. That text is placeholder content meant to be replaced per project, but it does not match this repository's own licence — see docs/internal/known-issues.md.
