Both these launchers work fine for me from the desktop:

#### Python launcher using gnome-terminal ####
$ cat Desktop/python.desktop

    [Desktop Entry]
    Comment=Python Shell
    Name=Python
    Exec=python
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Terminal=true
    Type=Application
    Icon=python2.4-32.xpm

#### Python launcher using rxvt ####
$ cat Desktop/rxvt.desktop

    [Desktop Entry]
    Comment=Python Shell
    Name=Python
    Exec=rxvt -e python
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Terminal=false
    Type=Application
    Icon=python2.4-32.xpm
