I developed a simple demo and packed it with pyinstaller

Thank you. You have successfully solved this problem and obtained the file path and name. Now I have another problem

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QLabel, QVBoxLayout
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
import sys

class Window(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        layout = QVBoxLayout()

        for arg in sys.argv:  # <1> sys.argv is a list of strings.
            l = QLabel(arg)
            layout.addWidget(l)

        self.setWindowIcon(QIcon('resource/logo.ico'))
        self.setLayout(layout)
        self.setWindowTitle("Arguments")

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = Window()
w.show()
app.exec_()

I want to add a program icon self.setWindowIcon(QIcon('resource/logo.ico')) It can be displayed normally

But I use pyinstaller to package and generate exe pyinstaller -w test20.py

When the .MP4 video file on the desktop of the computer is opened through test20.exe, it will not be normal displayed. That's why I can only copy one picture to the desktop,This is not the way to do it

Ah, that's interesting -- you when you run it as a packaged app, the exe file is the first argument? That's kind of helpful. In that case you can just use sys.argv[1] or get the last argument in the list, e.g.

I'm not sure what you mean here?

Are you having problems setting the icon for the executable? In the PyInstaller tutorial https://www.pythonguis.com/courses/packaging-and-distribution/packaging-pyqt5-pyside2-applications-windows-pyinstaller/ it explains the problem -- add the following to the top of your file.

from PyQt5.QtWinExtras import QtWin
myappid = 'com.qinhong.something'
QtWin.setCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(myappid)

and the icon should work as expected.

That tutorial also explains how to bundle the icons with your app.
