    How to import hackicon.dll

    Hello,
    I'm using Python2.2.1 and Tcl/Tk 8.3 running on Win2000. I've been
    researching how to change the icon on the title bar and found that
    hackicon is the one I should pursue. However, hackicon package uses a
    dll. When I run the hi.py, I get an error saying
    ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be
    found.
    I copied hackicon.dll to various directories in my pythonpath but
    nothing happens.

      Unless hackicon.dll was specifically compiled to by Python importable,
      the import should fail. You probably need to wrap it. I believe both
      the calldll and ctypes third-party modules will work. Either google
      web andor newgroup for more info or wait for more informed answer
      here.

          Use tkIcon

              I didn't have much luck with tkIcon either. It required installing
              PIL so that the import image works. I was hoping not to have to
              install another libray. Maybe I don't have any choice. Thanks all.
