In your setup.py, add iconfile

"""
This is a setup.py script generated by py2applet

Usage:
    python setup.py py2app
"""

from setuptools import setup

APP = ['main.py']
DATA_FILES = []
OPTIONS = {
    'iconfile':'icon.icns',
    'plist': {'CFBundleShortVersionString':'0.1.0',}
}

setup(
    app=APP,
    name='MacApp',
    data_files=DATA_FILES,
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
    setup_requires=['py2app'],
)

Answering my own question.

To add an icon 7 file simply add the iconfile option when 6 creating setup.py:

py2applet --make-setup foo.py --iconfile images/icon.icns

Note: You must not leave 5 the icon.icns under the same folder as your main 4 script foo.py. It must be placed under a subfolder 3 like images/, otherwise you'd end up with DATA_FILE=['--iconfile'] in your 2 setup.py, which would fail because that's not a 1 data file.

These solutions didn't work for me on python3. The 6 --iconfile switch was throwing errors about 5 not finding the file. In fact the switch 4 is not even needed. This worked for me.

py2applet --make-setup MyApplication.py myicon.icns
python3 setup.py py2app

Just 3 put the icon in the same folder as the source 2 code and this does what you want. Found 1 in py2applet help.
