Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.

Won't the security provided by pipenv end this?

we just had a thread about this recently where we were saying "Oh that cant happen because its open source". It does get caught. But its been up for a long time before it did get caught.

Well, OpenSource doesn't mean that it can't happen, but just that it will be spotted, and that anyone can fix it.

I remember back in the days when I've used Windows. There were various "free" little programs. It was fine while these programs did not start to install any other applications which weren't so good. Malware and worst. I had to read all in the installation process to not allow this sh_ts on my PC. It's not different with pypi but you can examine the code and see what is in it. And not just one person but any other. This can't be done with the .exef files so easy.
