Given that it's Barry claiming to post this particular malware, we have to suspect he really did. OTOH, I've been getting a lot of this crap posted directly to me the past few days, claiming to come from various people on python-dev, and Barry admittedly doesn't usually send email from Kenya (in my experience, he usually sends it from Korea).

So who pissed off a script kiddie?
