# ezicon

A simple tool to create Windows Start Menu shortcuts and Desktop links for Python scripts. It automatically detects virtual environments and GUI applications.

## Installation
```bash
pip install ezicon
```

## Features
- **Auto-Venv Detection:** Automatically finds and uses `.venv`, `venv`, or `env` folders near your script.
- **GUI Detection:** Automatically uses `pythonw.exe` for Tkinter/PyQt scripts (no console window).
- **Shortcut Customization:** Set custom names, icons, and locations.
- **Terminal Commands:** Create batch files to run your scripts from any terminal.

## Usage

### Basic Usage
Create a shortcut for your script in the Start Menu:
```bash
ezicon my_script.py
```

### Custom Name and Icon
Specify a custom name and a specific `.ico` file:
```bash
ezicon my_script.py "My Awesome App" --icon app_icon.ico
```

### Desktop Shortcut
Create a shortcut on the Desktop instead of the Start Menu:
```bash
ezicon my_script.py --desktop
```

### Terminal Commands (Shell Shortcuts)
Create a batch command to run your script from any terminal:
```bash
ezicon my_script.py --terminal run_my_app
```
Then just type `run_my_app` in your terminal to execute it.

### Force Console Window
If you have a GUI app but still want to see the console output:
```bash
ezicon my_gui_app.py --force-console
```

### Manage Shortcuts
List all shortcuts created by `ezicon`:
```bash
ezicon --list
```

Remove all shortcuts:
```bash
ezicon --clean
```

Delete a specific shortcut:
```bash
ezicon --delete "My Awesome App"
```

After creating the program icon, you can execute your python script from the Start Menu or Desktop.
