Recent flood of very low quality questions and non-questions with the Python tag today - what is going on?

I am wondering if Stack Overflow has been compromised by spammers. Within a few minutes, I have flagged a lot of questions which are either non-questions or low-quality and they all have the tag.

I have never had so many non-questions pop up as unanswered questions on Stack Overflow since I started using it. The names of those asking these 'questions' look fake and most of them have a reputation of 1 meaning they just created the account. One example is this non-question here another is this. Both were posted today and have since been closed. There are many more popping up under the python tag.

Is this normal or is the system compromised in some way?
