I confess my first thought was that it looks a bit like a very distorted
P, and that maybe making it look even more like a P (and skipping the
snake connection altogether) might be interesting.
Anyway, it looks nice to me.
Not looking too much like a snake is a win, in my opinion. Much as I
like ActiveState, their icon for ActiveState Python gives me the creeps,
and I'm probably not the only one.
