Obfuscated python, asking everyone to run it? Hah. Good one. Perhaps if you run it in VMWare which runs in Virtualbox which runs in Qemu... and even then. Never run such stuff bare on a machine you intend to still use afterwards.

The irony, if running code from a post from the Brickerbot author would brick your laptop...

Curious question: how was the python code obfuscated ? Does there exists some obfuscation programs that obfuscate the code like that ?

My thoughts exactly. The "any programmer worth his salt" statement, followed by this link that you have to download to prove as a programmer you are worthy.

Did anyone manage to access it?
