Ah, of course.  After a bit of digging around it turned out quite easy
to do:  Since I have a dual-boot Windows/FreeBSD machine (where I
never use the Windows bit, but nevertheless I have installed python
there too), all I needed to do is mount the Windows disk and do

; convert '/win98/c/Program Files/Python/py.ico' py.xpm

(Ain't Imagemagick great?)  The resulting 32x32 X icon is short enough
to include right here:
/* XPM */
static char *magick[] = {
/* columns rows colors chars-per-pixel */
"32 32 7 1",
"  c Gray0",
". c Blue",
"X c Green",
"o c Red",
"O c #808000",
"+ c Yellow",
"@ c None",
/* pixels */
"@@@@@@@  @   @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@@@ OO OOO @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@@       OO @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@@ ++ +++ O @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@@ +. +.. O @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@@ +. +.. O @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@@ ++ +++ O  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@@@    O   OOO    @@@@@@@@@@@@@",
"@@  OOOOOOOOOOO OOO  @@@@@@@@@@@",
"@ OOOOOOOOOOOOOX OOOO @@@@@@@@@@",
" OOOOOOOOOOOXOXXX OOOO @@@@@@@@@",
" O OO OOOOXOXXXXX OOOO @@@@@@@@@",
" OOOOOOOXOXX  XXX OOOOO @@@@@@@@",

"@oo     @@@ XXXOOOOO @@@@@@@@@@@",

};

I can do the others too (there is pyc, where the snake has closed its
eyes, and three identical looking icons with the snake framed inside a
window), if there is any interest.
