I have found a "make a icon in traybar" skript, and it loads its Icon from a file
hinst = win32gui.GetModuleHandle(None) iconPathName= "c:/myapp/myapp.ico" icon_flags = win32con.LR_LOADFROMFILE | win32con.LR_DEFAULTSIZE hicon = win32gui.LoadImage(hinst, str(iconPathName), win32con.IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, icon_flags) that works great. But now I have to distribute that icon together with the application - that is one file more to take track. I would like to load this image from <something> with something being a string / a cStringIO / something pickled The obvious cPickle.dumps(hicon) leads to nothing, cause it only gets the ID of the hicon :( Any ideas / recommendations / tipps?
