What did I do wrongly? - Tomi - Aug-07-2022
It says icon.ico not defined, what should I do? The icon.ico is in the same folder as the script im trying to run.
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
root = Tk()
root.title('Images')
root.iconbitmap('icon.ico')
my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("Pasi.png"))
my_label = Label(image=my_img)
my_label.pack()
button_quit = Button(root, text="Exit", command=root.quit)
button_quit.pack()
root.mainloop()

- Hard code the full path to the file, such as "/spam/eggs/icon.ico"
- Have the code compute the full path like in the below example
from pathlib import Path this_dir = Path(__file__).resolve().parent icon_ico = str(this_dir / 'icon.ico')If you want to distribute the program as a Python module, another option is to use package data files.
