Jacob,

Looks fine.

It's interesting to look at the icons for TextEdit, in
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/Resources/*.icns.

And looking at the XCode icons
(/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/*.icns), it
looks like the "Mac way" of doing code icons (like for .py files) is
to start with
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/wosfile.icns and
add a text version of the file suffix, in our case ".py".  Apparently
it should be a color; I'd pick green because the ".java" icon is a
green one, and Python, like Java, is a byte-code interpreted language.
