The infection vector can be anything. The interesting part is that they're using browser automation to open a real-time, encrypted, virtually undetectable and untraceable channel to the malware over a port (443) that is frequently used and very rarely blocked, via a host (gmail.com) that is also frequently used and rarely blocked (and there would likely be plenty of alternatives to choose from if it were), and without needing to create any sort of server on the target machine. The fact that Python is involved is incidental. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
