How to specify py2app icon?

Question

How to specify icon file when using py2app?

Now I am creating the installation file:

py2applet --make-setup MyApplication.py 

and then create the application package:

  python setup.py py2app -A 

where i point the icon file .. a little confused. Thanks for any help.

according to this link - http://packages.python.org/py2app/options.html , I have to add it as an option.

Currently, my setup.py file looks like this:

 """ This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet Usage: python setup.py py2app """ from setuptools import setup APP = ['hello.py'] DATA_FILES = ['chalkboard.jpg'] OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, 'iconfile': '/Users/grahamethomson/Documents/College/HND/oop/game/personal developoment/G/icon.icns'} setup( app=APP, data_files=DATA_FILES, options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], ) 

Answer 1

In the setup.py file add the icon file

 """ This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet Usage: python setup.py py2app """ from setuptools import setup APP = ['main.py'] DATA_FILES = [] OPTIONS = { 'iconfile':'icon.icns', 'plist': {'CFBundleShortVersionString':'0.1.0',} } setup( app=APP, name='MacApp', data_files=DATA_FILES, options={'py2app': OPTIONS}, setup_requires=['py2app'], )

Answering my question.

To add an icon file, simply add the iconfile parameter when creating setup.py:

 py2applet --make-setup foo.py --iconfile images/icon.icns
