[FIXED] PyQt icons missing?

Issue

I am new to PyQt and I am learning to make GUIs based on online tutorials I found. One of the examples in the tutorials uses an icon, here is the code from the tutorial:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QAction, qApp, QApplication
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon

class Example(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.initUI()


    def initUI(self):               

        exitAct = QAction(QIcon('exit24.png'), 'Exit', self)
        exitAct.setShortcut('Ctrl+Q')
        exitAct.triggered.connect(qApp.quit)

        self.toolbar = self.addToolBar('Exit')
        self.toolbar.addAction(exitAct)

        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 300, 200)
        self.setWindowTitle('Toolbar')    
        self.show()


if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The output according to the tutorial should be

But for me it's this

As I said, I just started with PyQt and I just installed PyQt through pip

pip install PyQt5

I'm using Python3.6 and PyQt5. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Solution

Yes, PyQt5 does come with a list of default icons. You can find them here: List of PyQt Icons

However, it seems the "exit" icon from the tutorial you refrenced used a local icon downloaded on their computer. You need to download the same icon and name it 'exit24.png' next to your python file.
