On: Typosquatting Attack on ‘Requests’ Python package

[samwillis]

First rule of un-curated package managers: pin your dependancies. (and check for typos!)

And every time this happens I will ask for the same thing, I want a platform that has library level isolation and fire-walling.

Also could all PAASs please implement outbound firewalls, I cannot understand why it's not a standard feature.

was "dependancies" an intentional typo?

Ha, no. Opps. I wish I was clever enough for it to be though...
