When I ported Python to RISC OS, I got Mark Hammonds permission and pinched
the bitmap from the Windows port and did a bit of editing to get it to suit
the necessary dimensional requirements. It's really rather nice, and at some
point I did convert it to a gif so I could use it with WindowMaker under
X... I can't remember what I did with it, but it does work and fit's in OK.
It would be good to see a cross platform Python icon and I reckon this is as
good a choice as any :)
