Make tkinter prompt inherit parent window's icon

I am writing a program using tkinter, and have successfully managed to use a colour icon for my program using code that looks like this:

from tkinter import *
tk = Tk()
root.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', self._w, '-default', 'iconfile.ico')

However, when I create a simple dialog, it has the default tkinter icon. I have tried setting the parent to my main window, but the icon is still the default one.

How could the icon be set to not be the default one?

Got an answer from a user on another site:

It's not a configurable option in the class. You'll need to make a subclass which sets the icon:

class StringDialog(simpledialog._QueryString):
    def body(self, master):
        super().body(master)
        self.iconbitmap('icon.ico')

    def ask_string(title, prompt, **kargs):
        d = StringDialog(title, prompt, **kargs)
        return d.result

You'll also need to subclass _QueryFloat and _QueryInteger if you want those versions. (These classes are supposed to be private, so you might have to fix this in future updates.)
