This seemed to be more about how to compile/decompile and obfuscate Python code then anything about malware. The two examples were the ability to take screenshots and make web requests were the only two actual potential malware related topics, but even those are fairly basic concepts that have a huge range of applications outside malware. These things are also fairly trivial in most even slightly mature languages.

The section on eval was a little more interesting but still nothing special.

Personally, and this is just my probably uninformed opinion, the biggest thing about Python that makes it useful for malware is its huge, mostly uncurated repository of libraries and addons that are easy to install and use without ever looking at it. This aspect of Python seems likely the most appealing for would be malware writers. The ease of making malicious code widely available without a lot of scrutiny.
