Thanks for reporting this.

This is a (known) false alarm, there is absolutely no trojan in any of 
Python(x,y)
components.

Could you please tell me which anti-spyware software are you using?
(because I need to warn the software's editor about this false detection)

Thanks,
Pierre

This also happened to me; I was warned of the ominous-sounding "Trojan.Autoit". 
This
was using PC Tools Spyware Doctor, which I obtained via Google Pack. This is on 
an
up-to-date Vista Ultimate system.
