Hello. I've downloaded the new Python to my new Computer, and the new Python mystifies me. Instead of an editor, it looks like a Dos executable program. How can I write my own Python Functions and subroutines in the new Python? It is version 3.11 (64 bit).

Some non-uniform generators are based on uniform generators whose output then is warped by the application of some function. If one has access to the underlying uniform generator used, one can test this with the algorithms for uniform generators. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2022 18:52:29 +0100 From: Aarnav Mahavir Bos <aarnav.bos@code.berlin> To: python-list@python.org Subject: Panoptisch - A way to understand your project's dependencies and find malicious packages Message-ID: <CAGKp6MyQYVrxmYr4gNzuSNx53v=xu1ueoajv65f2qagn6gg...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello all, I would like to share Panoptisch, a FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) tool I've been working on. We all may have encountered the issue of not having a clear dependency tree or not being sure of the modules our dependencies and sub-dependencies are using. Some of us may have also heard of supply chain attacks, where open source projects are hijacked to distribute malicious code masquerading as the original package. This can happen deep down in the dependency chain. Panoptisch was born out of the need to accurately verify the modules used in my project. It recursively scans a Python module or file to find modules used and exports a report in JSON which can be parsed for analysis. For example, should your yaml parser, or it's sub-dependencies import socket/os? should your markdown renderer or it's sub-dependencies import sys/importlib? *Probably not.* Panoptisch is in early stages, has known limitations and is looking for help! I would love feedback, contributions, and most important of all, rigorous testing! I would also love to help you integrate this tool in your workflow to write more secure software.

Hi there, I added your project to my watch list, keep on your work. A couple of points: First, I glanced at the code and in the very first file I opened, https://github.com/R9295/panoptisch/blob/master/panoptisch/__init__.py, I see main(). I usually place such a code in __main__.py Second, in addition to AST analysis it would be nice to implement a sandbox with import hooks.

How you pass certain control characters is going to depend on the shell, operating system, and possibly the keyboard you?re using. (e.g. https://www.alt-codes.net). Here?s a sample program.
