Can we rebuild Python.exe to include the various "version"
information?

Why rebuild it? You can use a resource editor tool to add/edit/delete the
VERSIONINFO from any Windows executable, including Python.exe ;-)

M,

Thanks for you suggestion. I didn't know that there was anything like
a "resource editor" outside of a dev IDE. You learn something new
everyday. :)

So, we've established that there is a different way to edit the
VERSIONINFO of an EXE. However, the question still remains as to
whether is is legal to edit the VERSIONINFO on Python.exe and
distribute it?
