Summary

Description Logo used for Python for Macintosh between 1997 and 2001.
Date
Source Extracted from the resource fork of bundle.rsrc.hqx from an old revision of the Python source tree.
Author

All files pertaining to this icon were committed to the Python repository by Jack Jansen, in his capacity (at the time) as MacPython maintainer; no other author for the contents of `bundle.rsrc.hqx` is noted in the introducing commit's message. Jansen may therefore be the author of the icon, but it should be noted that the commit which added the PSD files for the OSX revisions adding motion blur and shadow bears a message including

Not pretty, but hey! I'm not an artist (and a certain artist didn't jump in, yet).

which has unclear significance here: it may allude to a different author for the original weight symbol, or it may simply mean that Jansen was hoping a certain artist would contribute to the OSX adaptations of the icon. In any case, the icon was almost certainly contributed deliberately to Python (it alludes to the language being named after Monty Python) and so can be reasonably supposed to be available under the terms that Python was available under at the time, lacking any contrary notice.
