New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:
The uuid module uses ctypes to try and load likely system libraries to provide some functionality of the uuid module. This is a security risk (depending on your sensitivity to DLL hijacking), but it also seems to be not very necessary? It would be nice to remove the ctypes usage from an otherwise (almost) pure Python module. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 368066 nosy: steve.dower priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Deprecate and remove ctypes usage in uuid versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40501> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
