I think trying to incorporate two icons into one would be a bit much.  
I'm really not that concerned because Python for Windows has been  
shipping with a green snake image for 5+ years, and almost every  
project I've ever seen uses images of a green or yellow snake to  
represent Python. Also, I think it's a valid point that the Python  
logo is really not OS X/XP-style (It's reminiscent of BE's style to  
me, actually), and I really think the best way for an icon to say "OS  
X" is to be in the OS X style.

Thanks,

Kevin
