I'm trying to make a simple python GUI with tkiter. Recently I have a great trouble with tkinter Toplevel to set it's window icon. When I set a Toplevel's window icon at first it run's good on IDE or CMD then threre are no problem and when I convert it into EXE then there don't show the icon besides it there don't show other widget. At first tryed with cx_Freeze and as seeing the problem then I tryed it with pyinstaller and there are also same problem. I have alse tryed to solve it with internet but found nothing. The code is here .

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import Toplevel
from PIL import Image

def show():
    window  = Toplevel(root, bg= '#4e6c9a')
    window.title('Ok')
    window.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', window._w, 'Key.ico')
    bu = Button(window, text='me', command=window.destroy)
    bu.pack()

root = Tk()
bt = Button(text = 'click', command=show)
bt.pack()
root.mainloop()

It run's well in IDE or with CMD. converting it to EXE with pyinstaller.... in console

after compliting the application will start then when the Toplevel is start you can a blank window will open with a title but there are no icon or no widget. I know that this is for setting icon because when I remove icon in code and reprocess the converting EXE method then the toplevel works good. Please help and give me a good solution!

I'm sorry, I am not good in grammer

  • Does this answer your question? How do I include files with pyinstaller? Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 7:18
  • You should either copy the exe from dist on to the project directory or copy the image into the dist folder Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 7:37
  • Thank you. I have tryed that copy the exe from dist to other but no result I found and tryed the method skiping --onfile or -F in command but no result I found. But when I remove to set icon on tkinter Toplevel's window on code and convert it to exe then the all thing goes right. But I need to set Toplevels icon without no problem.

Use cx_freeze and add the file on setup.py file the code

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
build_exe_options = {

"packages": [
'tkinter',
],
    'include_files': [r'icon'] # Here you must add the icon file
}

# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for
# a console application).
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"

setup(  name = "Gui",
        version = "1.0",
        description = "A simple Description",
        options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
        executables = [Executable("script.py", base=base, icon=r'icon\icon.ico')])
