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) or Microsoft's Visual Basic.  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 complete in this area, most companies will continue to believe 
that Python is mostly a cute, somewhat enabled scripting tool.
