Hi all,
Am using py2app and hitting this problem: py2app's built-in recipe for
pygame is causing the pygame icon to appear when I run the app from
the dock.
It goes something like this:
1) The icon file I provide for my app appears in the dock by default,
thanks to python setup.py py2app --iconfile my_icon.icns.
2) However, when I click on that icon in the dock, it briefly changes
to the pygame icon (snake with game controller in mouth) and bounces
up and down, before my app runs.
3) I tried adding a call at the start of my app to
pygame.display.set_icon() to override the pygame icon with my own icon
-- this causes the bouncing pygame icon to change back to my app's
icon immediately before my app takes over the screen. However, I still
see the pygame icon for a moment or two.
This may sound like a small issue, but I'm about to submit the app for
testing to a "serious" client, and I know they would not appreciate
the pygame icon.
So, is there a way to either:
1) Exclude pygame_icon.icns on the command line (I tried --excludes
and --dylib-excludes to no avail); or
2) Change the default recipe for pygame;
3) Invoke some other magic to fix this?
BTW: I also tried to remove pygame_icon.icns manually after the app
was created (deleting it from site-packages.zip, then recreating
the .zip file), but this broke something else.
TIA...!
Happy holidays,
