I was just about to try to compile btop with cmake, which gave me some errors about python. which cmake returned ~/.local/bin/cmake which made me curious. After listing ~/.local/bin I found several files there, which all have a similar script within them. from import main

#!/usr/bin/python3.11
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from cmake import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(main())

Have I caught some sort of malware/virus? Are these save to remove? I know that pip installs --user binaries into ~/.local/bin, but after inspecting it, there are just these

pip list --user
