Python .ico

[Byron]

Have an icon that you would like to share?

I agree, Python is an excellent language.  I just wish that more 
companies would give it a more serious look.

Probably, the main source of resistance is the fact that the makers of 
Python do not provide a free, RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool 
that allows users to quickly and easily build GUIs visually, such as 
Java's Netbeans (www.netbeans.org).  Most programmers like an 
easy-to-use RAD that allows users to quickly and easily develop GUI 
applications.  Unfortunately, until Python is able to strongly compete 
in this area, most companies will continue to only believe that Python 
is mostly a cute scripting tool.
