[Pythonmac-SIG] Display icons from Carbon?

[Kevin Walzer]

I'm trying to figure out how to display Mac-native icons in my Python 
application via Carbon. I can get the raw icon data via this snippet:

from Carbon import Icn
icon = Icn.GetIconRefFromFile('/Users/kevin/Desktop/myfile.doc')
print icon

(<_Res.Resource object at 0x4d110>, 0)

However, after this, I'm not sure how to proceed. It appears I need to 
draw the icon using Icn.PlotIconRef, but there's no window in which to 
display the icon using the raw Carbon calls. Has anyone done this 
successfully from one of the GUI toolkits, say wxPython or Tkinter? (I'm 
using the latter, for what it's worth.)

TIA,
Kevin
