This works in Python 3.x. In 2.7 you should use
root.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', str(root), '-default', img, ...)
Note that it is worth to specify images for several different sizes (up
to 128x128 for OS X).

I am using the latest release that is offered in the Debian
repository but I will look into upgrading from other sources.
Thanks for the info.

The above worked perfectly. Thank you very much.
Then you should try if it works also with the last line replaced as
root.wm_iconphoto(True, img)
(as Serhiy and Terry wrote). My system python which I used to test this
was just too old to wrap iconphoto, yours should be up to date.

According to "root.eval('info patchlevel')" I have version 8.6.2.
PNG worked. That is good because PNG is a common file type for
Linux icons.
PS: 8.6.2 is from mid 2014, that's OK - though we've had a brand new
release (8.6.5) in February 2016

The above worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

According to "root.eval('info patchlevel')" I have version 8.6.2.
PNG worked. That is good because PNG is a common file type for
Linux icons.

iconphoto is the newer API for color icons. I am a bit surprised that it
is not wrapped in Tkinter, which is odd. You can still call it via eval:
import Tkinter
from Tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
img = Tkinter.Image("photo", file="appicon.gif")
root.call('wm','iconphoto',root._w,img)
If you Tk is recent enough (8.6, you can find out by doing
root.eval('info patchlevel')), you can use .png files in addition to
.gif. If you need to read other image files, look into PIL and ImageTk.

I found this and it works in Linux but only with black
and white xbm images (I would prefer color):
root.wm_iconbitmap('@myicon.xbm')
I found some info in a forum that talked about putting
a color icon in a Label on a separate window and passing
that to the main window as the icon. But there were no
code examples or explanations. So far I have not been
able to figure it out. I would appreciate any help.
