The icon that is visible on the taskbar and in the upper left corner of your GUI (if it exists) is controlled by your script. This means if you're using tkinter, PyQt or something else to create your GUI, use the methods provided by the library to set the icon.

If you package a script that does not use a GUI (console application), the icon provided will be what appears in the taskbar.
