No.  Clean PC.  Nothing on it.  Eradicated Windows.  I've got several MS bills that thy attempted to root out Poweliks but where unable.  Not to be an azz but you could pay one of them off and see what you think.  Apple side is unaffected.  I threw 8 antivirus/ malware at it and it survived damaged but came back.  Used Apple side to crush Poweliks.

Otherwise it is more likely that you got infected elsewhere, and only noticed it after Python was installed. According to Symantic, Poweliks is most likely to have been installed by a fake Word or Excel document.
