Py+Icon 2 Win

easily add icons and convert PY to EXE, with dev tags


Build your app in Python...

→ Then add name, icon, and metadata while you package it as an EXE

This application allows you to set the icon, and write necessary metadata, when compiling an application from a PY file into an EXE.

- And it makes it easy to clean up the junk!

  • Dist and Build folders go into an App Data sub folder, which can be accessed and cleared with simple buttons.
  • EXEs are output to a Documents sub folder, with an option to also output to the Desktop.

This is essentially just a useful GUI for PyInstall.

  • I've had the most luck with this when using Tkinter designed applications, but have seen Pillow work fine as well.

Both the .PY and .EXE versions are included, for ease of use.


Intent:

I wanted a tool that would create EXEs for me out of Python code. Problem was – Getting all the images, icons, and other EXEs for bundles into the same folder, or writing out the full filepath expression and running PyInstall in CMD from that folder... It was cumbersome, to say the least.
