I want to used python to get the executed file version, and i know the pefile.py

Answer 1

I'm not sure that I understand your problem correctly, but if it's something along the lines of using pefile to retrieve the version of a provided executable, then perhaps (taken from [the tutorial][1])

import pefile
pe =  pefile.PE(‘/path/to/pefile.exe’)
pe.dump_info()

will provide you with the version information. I have no idea how sensible pefile is when parsing incomplete files, but conjecturing that the version information is somewhere in the header and that pefile uses a generator to read the file, then it should be possible to read the information if the header is parseable.
