[WxPython] Embedding an image into source code and displaying in a wx.Frame

**Yoriz** · May-19-2019, 02:32 PM

Grab the following python logo image

from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...xt.svg.png

To embed this image into python source code use img2py.py from wx tools

img2py.py Wrote:Convert an image to PNG format and embed it in a Python module with appropriate code so it can be loaded into a program at runtime.
The benefit is that since it is Python source code it can be delivered as a .pyc or 'compiled' into the program using freeze, py2exe, etc.

from wx.tools import img2py

image_file = '110px-Python-logo-notext.svg.png'
python_file = 'python_logo.py'

img2py.img2py(image_file=image_file, python_file=python_file,
              imgName='get_python_logo', icon=True)

This creates the following python file
python_logo.py

from wx.lib.embeddedimage import PyEmbeddedImage

get_python_logo = PyEmbeddedImage(
