iconphoto is the newer API for color icons. I am a bit surprised that it 
is not wrapped in Tkinter, which is odd. You can still call it via eval:

import Tkinter
from Tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
img = Tkinter.Image("photo", file="appicon.gif")
root.call('wm','iconphoto',root._w,img)

If you Tk is recent enough (8.6, you can find out by doing 
root.eval('info patchlevel')), you can use .png files in addition to 
.gif. If you need to read other image files, look into PIL and ImageTk.
