Hey Jasper,

thanks a lot for your fast answer! But I am not sure, if I got it right -
did you mean that the detection of the trojan in the pyinstaller release is
wrong and almost certainly a "false positive" (so no trojan and no threat
in pyinstaller at all) or did you mean the opposite? Sorry for my confusion
- I am not a native speaker... :)

Cheers,
Dominik
