24 alternatives to Pip Imports in Deno

deno_python 0.3.1 adds support for importing python pip packages directly in JavaScript! Fun and useful, slightly cursed.

    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:…

    Hey HN, I’m Jimmy, co-founder of Dropbase (https://www.dropbase.io). We are an internal tools builder for Python developers. All you have to do is import any Python scripts/libraries, declare UI components, and layer app permissions so you can share them with others. We’re a middle ground between Airplane and Retool—simpler UI creation than Airplane, more code-centered than Retool. UI building is declarative and you can bind Python scripts/functions to UI components. You can write Python scripts/functions using our App Studio with support from a Python Language…

    Hi HN! I built Belgie, a Python library that embeds Deno, allowing Python applications to run JavaScript and TypeScript without requiring Node.js or Deno to be installed on the host system. It supports the features you’d expect from Deno (npm, JSR, and URL imports, isolated package environments, etc.), plus: - Pass JSON-safe values seamlessly between Python and JavaScript. - Agentic code generation with typed interfaces, similar to Pydantic’s Monty. - Manage dependencies programmatically or from the CLI.

    After yesterday's release of Deno with package.json support[0] some discussions about how Deno handles dependencies have been coming up again. Since Deno's inception, I've mostly been watching it from the sidelines, dabbling a bit with it, and mostly been considering it a fad that will die out sooner or later. Ultimately, with the new package.json support nothing really changed regarding the dependency management story of Deno. It's still as awful as ever. Prompted by some discussions, I decided I would try to test how easy it would be to mount a typo-domain supply chain attack. And as…

    Made this little thing: https://github.com/borkdude/bebo In the spirit of deno it allows you to install a script from an https location but for Clojure(Script, .cljs). Why would you use this? I love Clojure and I'd love to see it in more places than the JVM and browser. Maybe you do too. It is similar to the idea of nbb which allows you to run .cljs scripts on Node.js via the SCI interpreter: - https://github.com/babashka/nbb - https://github.com/babashka/sci I posted this project yesterday but forgot to add "Show HN"... I hope that…

    Hello all, Very excited to share this project with you all! Panoptisch scans your Python file or module to find it's imports (aka dependencies) and recursively does so for all dependencies and sub-dependencies. It then generates a dependency tree in JSON for you to parse and enforce import policies. Supply chain attacks are no joke, and this is one way to transparently analyze your dependencies to see if any malicious imports are taking place. For example, your yaml parser, nor it's sub-dependencies should import socket, or sys. Panoptisch is in early stages, with known limitations (for…

    eno [1] - A modern plaintext language w/ libraries [2] for JavaScript, Python, Ruby & soon more! We migrated a big relational research database to a file-based solution - requirements were: - Super fast and easy editability for users - Highest performance for parsing/validating >10K documents on every user change. Our trials with YAML/TOML showed us that we wanted something both faster [3][4] and easier [4], something tailored for file-based content management ... and after months of research & development it's now publicly available (under MIT license) for everyone!

    Hey all, Andy from the Deno team here. We're excited to share with you Deno Subhosting, an easy way to extend your platforms functionality by securely running untrusted JavaScript written by your users. When we first launched Deno Deploy in 2021, we were surprised at the volume of requests from companies about getting access to the APIs needed to run Deno Deploy. Many companies wanted to give their users the ability to write custom logic in their app, but setting this up in the cloud presents security concerns and a ton of infra work/maintenance. We realized that there was an…
