Is there any way to set the application publisher variable, to identify the application to windows security? I tried the SetVendor method of wx.App, but I gather that is more for registry modification actions.

Are you using the settings in setup.py, used by py2exe and co, i.e.:

class MetaBase:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        self.__dict__.update(kw)
        self.version = VERSION_STRING
        self.author = "yourname"  # at least on Windows XP this goes 
into Publisher if you look in Add/Remove Programs on the control panel
        self.author_email = "youremail"
        self.company_name = ""
        self.copyright = "whatever"
        self.url = "whatever"
        self.download_url = "whatever"
        self.trademark = ""
        self.comments = ""
        self.name = "app name"
        self.description = "app description"
