Whatsapp Bug

How people ran python scripts on other computers in one click

A new issue in whatsapp has surfaced where when sending python scripts (and most likely other languages), people can then run it by pressing "open" - yes, you heard that right, not "run" but instead "open", which one can easily think means "open in text editor". People have also found out that using .pyzw files will hide command terminal entirely (unless printing to a console), meaning it just looks like it didn't load.

This issue only seems present in the whatsapp for windows application, however that may change. It also doesn't help that windows' built-in antivirus doesn't do much against python scripts, as windows seems to trust it regardless of what it is doing.
