Anybody have the correct method of adding an icon to a

but they all result in an error. Thanks.
No single simple statement work for all situations. You should have
specified OS, Python version, and tcl/tk version. (IDLE's Help -> About
IDLE displays full tk version).
Here is the current code from idlelib.PyShell, written by Serhiy
Storchaka, our current tkinter maintainer.
# set application icon
icondir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'Icons')
if system() == 'Windows':
iconfile = os.path.join(icondir, 'idle.ico')
root.wm_iconbitmap(default=iconfile)
elif TkVersion >= 8.5:
ext = '.png' if TkVersion >= 8.6 else '.gif'
iconfiles = [os.path.join(icondir, 'idle_%d%s' % (size, ext))
for size in (16, 32, 48)]
icons = [PhotoImage(file=iconfile) for iconfile in iconfiles]
root.wm_iconphoto(True, *icons)
Non-windows pre-8.5 systems remain stuck with the tk icon.
I just tried changing the 'if' line to 'if False:' on my 3.5.1 (8.6.4)
windows install and the 2nd, wm_iconphoto block worked here also. It
may be that it did not work on windows with 8.5 and before.
