setup(
    name="subtodl", 
    packages = ['Scripts'], 
    version="0.0.1",
    license='MIT',     
    description = 'a handy tools to download subtitle ',   
    author = 'mehdi',                  
    install_requires=[
    "pyqt5; platform_system=='Windows'", 
    "beautifulsoup4", 
    "lxml",
    "PyQt5==5.11.3 ;platform_system=='Linux'",
    "requests",
    "wget",
    ],
    classifiers=[
        "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6",
    ],
    entry_points={

        'gui_scripts': [
        'subtodl= Scripts.subtodlmain:main',
    ],

Answer 1

The easiest way to do what you want is:

Create a shortcut to the app (drag it somewhere while holding ctrl and shift).
Right click the shortcut and click properties.
Click change icon, and select the icon file you want.

Now to open your app you just need to double click your shortcut that can be placed anywhere.

but it does work i just test it on a Linux base machine

    data_files=[
    ('/share/applications', [subtodl.desktop"])
