If it's malware there always more than 1 report.

Python 3 is backwards compatible,so everything that work in 3.2.4 will also work in 3.6.4.
Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows

Interestingly if you scan the URL it is clean although they would have aggregated the results probably differently. Maybe the files Baidu recorded were from infected machines or something (although presumably they verify the signature on aggregation of data). I think you are probably right.

Didn't know about the backwards compatibility within major version number - thanks.
