    Pipask is a drop-in replacement for pip that addresses a serious security flaw: standard pip executes arbitrary code from source distributions during dependency resolution, without warning or consent. Pipask retrieves metadata through PyPI's JSON API first, then checks repository popularity, download counts, package age, and known vulnerabilities before allowing installation. It presents you with a pretty report and asks for you consent with installation, giving you control over what code runs on your system. More details in the intro blog post:…

    Mirroring PyPI packages for environments/networks that do not have access to the Internet is hard. It's actually hard even in environments that do have access to the Internet. Most solutions out there either: 1. Depend on pip to download and cache package distributions. This means those downloads will probably only work in a similar environment (same Python interpreter, same libc), because of the nature of binary package distributions and the fact that packages have optional dependencies for different environments. 2. Depend on other PyPI packages, meaning installing the mirror in a…

    Hi, A few months ago, I shared a tool I built for personal use to easily trace HTTP client requests in any Python app. It links requests to the corresponding Python code and comes with a nice UI. By easily, I mean: no external dependencies, no setup, no superuser rights, and no code modifications — just do "pip install httpdbg" and then launch your code using the "pyhttpdbg" command. That’s it. I received a lot of positive feedback — not just here, but also on social media, in podcasts, and beyond. So, thank you! Since I last introduced httpdbg, I’ve made many improvements — based on both my…

    Hi HN! This is my first open source package. PyCharm used to have a nifty tool to show you requirements.txt packages that needed updates. You could click a button and open the github page, click a button to upgrade, all in the file. It was super convenient. Then it went away. The package was written in a few languages that I have no experience with, but I figured I'd build something that worked for my use case, and maybe it can help you, too. After installing, you point it at your requirements.txt file, and it will spit out something like this: ---- File caching enabled The following…

    Hey HN! I built Python Playground, a Chrome extension that gives you a ready-to-use Python environment right in your browser - no installation needed. It runs Python locally via Pyodide (WebAssembly) with most popular libraries included out of the box, plus a package manager to install additional modules from PyPI. The environment supports inline data visualization with Matplotlib and Plotly, file upload/download through a sandboxed filesystem, and the ability to save and reload snippets. Everything executes entirely on the client, so it works offline and nothing ever leaves your…
