#43293 — Strange files??

Recently I installed Python 3.3 successfully.

Yesterday - I have a bunch of PY files such as thesaurus.py, some *.p7s
files, some signature files and an index.fpickle.  A total of 23 files.

Where do they come from and how do they end up as incoming mail???
Are any of these needed for anything?
As a rule I sort out or delete all incoming attachments every day.

What do you mean, you have them? Did someone email them to you? If so, surely 
they're nothing to do with installing Python.

Sorry to bother everyone.  I DLed bodies for a bunch of old headers and
somebody must have seen a need to include all those files in what they
posted.
Nothing mysterious - no inadvertent subscription by me.

What operating system is this, and what are you doing to protect 
yourself from hackers, virus, etc?

So, which is it, files, or mail attachments?  If the latter, could you 
please tell us your mail environment?

And if it's files rather than mail, please tell us where these are 
appearing.
