Python 3 script files do not show the proper icon like Python 2.x files

[GitHubIsToxic]

Python 3 script files (text/x-python3) do not show the proper icon like Python 2.x files (text/x-python), but show a generic text file icon. I think Mint-Y may also have this problem. The icons should be the same.

Creating symlinks to the "text-x-python" icons (in various locations), and running sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/* fixed it for me.

Nemo 3.9.0
Linux Mint 19

I'm not sure symlinks are the proper solution.
