That looks the same (or very similar) to Python23\py.ico, which is
associated with .py files.

IMO for an installer (even if it installs Python modules) the usual
computer picture with a disc or a disc box beneath it is more
appropriate.

If you look at the default py2exe icon you will notice that I'm very
creative and good making custom icons ;-), so that's not an option.
