Questions about Python executable and security

I don't use Windows anymore, but I wouldn't assume that Python is invisible to an anti-virus.

You might find more help on this topic on a Windows security forum.

If you have the flexibility, I suggest you dive in and run experiments, software is often magical in how easily and quickly you can test things, especially in an iterative fashion (you can keep compiling more aggressive Python code, seeing at what point an AV notices it).
