Im very new to web programming. I made a small front end program and decided to use python to host it on my computer. When I ran the python script I got the following messages on my terminal:

127.0.0.1 - - [16/Mar/2019 15:40:45] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [16/Mar/2019 15:40:45] "GET /style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [16/Mar/2019 15:40:45] "GET /btnEvent.js HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [16/Mar/2019 15:40:46] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 -

The first three files belong to my program so thats correct. However, theres a last file favicon.ico and the request apparently failed. Why did that happen?

A favicon.ico is the little icon that browsers display next to a page's title on a browser tab, or in the address bar next to its URL. In practical when you bookmark any page then it shows a logo of website which is nothing but favicon.ico. It is default lookup of browsers.
