download of Python(x,y)-2.7.6.1.exe blocked by Antivirus

today I tried to download Python(x,y)-2.7.6.1.exe (https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/wiki/Downloads?tm=2), but the download was blocked by my Avast free Antivirus because of a Trojan Horse ("Win32:Dropper-gen [Drp]"). Does anybody else has this problem?

I did a quick search for virus under the project issues, and found there's an open item for this (as well as a merged issue with the exact trojan you're seeing reported); most recent comment from the developer on June 8th:

It seems like a false positive - see:

I've submitted a false positive report which hopefully will clear things up.
