@stargirl I agree that where we are now is far from where we should/want/need to be. However, I disagree with the defeatist view. There is a very real need for a package management system that doesn’t let you install or use packages that were not intended. The solution will either be we make such a package management system or Python is excluded from a large swath of use cases that pay the bills so to speak. I choose to work towards such a system and to incentivize those who will benefit to support that effort.

@brettcannon @stargirl In short pip. There are a number a ways this can happen including typosquatting, abusing authority, abandon packages, etc. These are all real and persistent problems that can easily port to conda (via conda-forge or supply chain). https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/02/python_pypi_purges/

Great discussion with @timkmak by @benjaminwittes. More justification to sign up for Tim’s Counteroffensive substack. https://overcast.fm/+vh1qk362E

@capitalweather here’s hoping you can find a posting tool that works with your flow. I certainly miss your content being here.

@benjaminwittes the DC tash company will not pick up the whole can at times if they see it and the owner has to clean it up.

@johnmacintosh pretty sure those are not real. Paper clips do not look like that and would not work if they did.
