Please don't stop working on an icon.  The current icon-set has been  
ancient looking for years now, there's no need to rush this. I  
wouldn't mind if the new icons wouldn't be introduced until Python  
2.5, that should give us enough time to pick a new icon. Rushing this  
would only increase the chance that we'd pick an icon that we don't  
really like and have to change again soon.

And for the record: I'm not really thrilled by the icon on  
beta.python.org. I can live with it if it would get picked, but it  
isn't a very compelling image.
