Downloading a Python package (as done by scrapers, mirrors and security analysts) does not run setup.py. Only if the module is installed is this run.

It's analagous to downloading vs. running an executable.


Doing a pip install actually runs the setup.py of the package for source dist, which means running an executable.

It's not the case for wheels though, so you can protect yourself by restricting to binary : --only-binary.

Also doing a pip download is not sensible to this issue, but most people do pip install


Ah, sure. Just making the distinction that you don't have to actually use a module within your code. That installing the module, even if you never use it in your own code, runs some of the code in that module.

Now I guess we just look through crtasm's history for what has caught dang's eye. :)


Your source seems to contradict 'six buliding collapses per month':

"A six-story building collapsed Friday night in Nairobi, killing at least a dozen people. Several buildings in Kenya have collapsed in the past year. Why?"


My source for the 6/month figure is this video:

Only the big ones end up in the media..

But you are right it seems like an overestimate. I found this showing 17 buildings collapsed in eight years, citing a CMU study:

Nope, just convention.


Once a certain threshold is reached, your account can flag posts. However, for things like FT you can use archive.is to view it past the paywall [0].

At the moment your karma is -2, I'd perhaps recommend you try to make insightful posts that add to the conversation.

Not a bad solution, :)

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail, etc.


Judging by https://github.com/Mayandev (好奇心), the user is Chinese. Wiktionary reports that the symbol (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%80%81) is used as a comma in Japenese & Chinese languages.


Yeah, I'm from china. Thx for your patient answer.


Thanks!


Interesting. Mileage may vary by company / area of work. I didn't go to Uni and went straight to work. Got a few A-levels but nothing special.

Wasn't even asked about them for my first job.


It's certainly true for a lot of corporate graduate schemes require a 2.1 in a relevant subject and reputable university in the UK. It's typically used as an initial filter.
