It's not just XCode. *Users* deal with many different kinds of source files, and apparently the icons used in XCode are the ones that Mac OS X uses generically. For example, look at the Finder icon for a Java source file, and you'll see that the XCode icon is used there, as well. The greeked source code in the background of the document indicates "source code", the file extension indicates the language, and the color apparently indicates something as well, though it's not clear (to me) just what. I'm happy with your .py icon, though having the greeked source code in the background would be cool. Of course, it's not Python source code. But we should be clear that we are using a non-Mac visual vocabulary here.
