idle-dev is about the development of IDLE itself.  OS interactions are 
not controlled by idle maintainers and a bit off-topic here.

In any case, I believe what you call 'the idle icon' is actually the 
python code icon, which is used by IDLE also.  The association between 
'.py' and an icon and the default for right-click, open-with is set by 
the python installer (written by our python-on-mac developer).  How to 
change those to something else is a macOS question, not even a python 
question.

I am a Windows user, Mac neophyte, and have no idea how.  To be honest, 
I don't think changing the icon is appropriate.  .py files are python 
files, not Geany files.  (The default opener is another matter.)  But it 
is your machine.
