I just realised that it's a 15 year old so I might be a bit harsh, but it's also actual hashtag and keyword spam to pollute search results (#buygme), doesn't work, violates multiple python styles/formats, doesn't have whitespace which is critical for python, ...

I'd say that's sort of beside the point. Sure it looks hideous, but it's also brain dead. Comparing against a hard coded password works for some things, but highly sensitive information in a scripting language really isn't one of them. If you wrote that beautifully it'd be just as stupid.
