While I'm not absolutely positive, it looks like Python still doesn't have any official mascot or logo.
As already mentioned, there is a snake that gets used in a number of icons around the place - the windows installer, for example.
Hence, here's something I came up with yesterday. Its by no means a final version, but rather just a draft to
show an idea. Here's a link to png file.

Very cute :)
Having said that, don't forget that Python's name has *nothing to do with snakes*. Please consider sticking to the original roots of the language's name: Monty Python's Flying Circus. IIRC, Guido has said a number of times that he's not fond of using a snake for logos. Hence the MacPython stuff uses a 16 ton weight in its icons.

Yup, I was aware of the fact of Monty Python roots of the language name. However, you will probably agree that a snake is more associative.
Plus, if to use some characteristic MP feature like a giant foot, I'm not positive that it won't trigger any copyright issues.
