windows icon?

Try this for your build script instead:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
      windows = [
          { 'script': "wxAppEXKalc.py", 'icon_resources': [(0x0004,
                                                        'horse.bmp')]}],
      version="1.0",)

The difference is the 'script': part. I'm not sure on the icon question
as to what format it has to be. If you're setting the same icon as the
frame icon, you may have to distribute the icon with your project. I'm
not sure if there's a way around that or not, I haven't investigated it.

Great thanks for the help!!

I have a couple of questions. I have an icon I saved as a .bmp, is

there

a special format for icons that I am required to use? Secondly I have

an

error when I included the code that was recommended to me for my setup
file. here is my code and the error:

#setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(windows = [{'wxAppEXKalc.py', 'icon_resources': [(0x0004,
'horse.bmp')]}], version = '1.0')

Any thoughts?

The hearsay appears to be true. In my setup.py I have "1" instead of
0x0004 and it works just the same.
