It is possibile to have this image stock usable from environment
different from python? Ok python is the main language used to write
activity (and sugar itself) but make this icon usable from other
environment can help this activity writer to mantains the same look of
python activity.

If sugar define a lots of "official" icon in this way that can be used
without the use of python I suppose that this is welcomed.
