Hi all,

Recently I've started work on a Python icon extracting library for PE
files: https://github.com/jlu5/icoextract
It includes an exe-thumbnailer script that wraps around Pillow to
convert the extracted .ico file to a .png.

My main goal with this project is to address some of the shortcomings in
the current code, including lack of support for 256x256 icons[1] and
failing to handle large files[2]. However, I'm also looking to remove
some more niche features in the interest of keeping things tidy. The
full proposal is at
https://github.com/exe-thumbnailer/exe-thumbnailer/issues/17

I wonder if there'd be any interest in packaging this after I polish the
code, add tests, and make a release?

Best,
James
