I have a small program in PyQt4 and I want to compile the program into an Exe. I am using py2exe to do that. I can successfully set icon in the windows title bar using the following code, but when i compile it into exe the icon is lost and i see the default windows application. here is my program:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui
class Icon(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 250, 150)
self.setWindowTitle('Icon')
self.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon('c:/python26_/repy26/icons/iqor1.ico'))
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
icon = Icon()
icon.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
**** Here is the setup.py for py2exe****
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(windows=[{"script":"iconqt.py"
,"icon_resources": [(1, "Iqor1.ico")]}]
,options={"py2exe":{"includes":["sip", "PyQt4.QtCore"]}})
The problem is that py2exe doesn't include the qt icon reader plugin. You need to tell it to include it with the data_files parameter. Something along these lines:
setup(windows=[{"script":script_path,
"icon_resources":[(1, icon_path)]}],
data_files = [
('imageformats', [
r'C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\plugins\imageformats\qico4.dll'
])],
options={"py2exe":{"packages":["gzip"],
"includes":["sip"]}})
I believe you need to reference the .ico
file directly from the EXE or DLL that you are creating with py2exe
. You seem to have the setup.py script correct, so take a look at: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/CustomIcons. There is an example for wxWidgets, but you could try to adapt it to Qt.
