There's an open PEP-356 issue for "update the icons to the newer shinier ones" for Unix. As far as I can see, there's the 14x15 GIF images used for Idle and the documentation. Note that for me at least, idle comes up without an icon anyway.

A pyfav.(gif|png) replacement would be quite welcome!

In case we add a Python .desktop file (as proposed in patch #1353344), we'll need some PNGs in /usr/share/icons. A patch for Makefile.pre.in is attached.

I know the .desktop files have become fairly standard, but are these our responsibility or does that rest with the distributions/integrators? (I'm not objecting, but I'm not sure what the right thing really is since Python is an interpreter, not a desktop application.)
