Good news! New York University -- specifically Professor Justin Cappos -- and I have successfully asked the US National Science Foundation for a grant to improve Python packaging security. The NSF is awarding NYU $800,000 over two years -- from mid-2021 to mid-2023 -- to further improve the pip dependency resolver and to integrate The Update Framework further into the packaging toolchain. https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2054692&HistoricalAwards=false For what we're planning to do, what this means in the short term, an explanation of why NYU and the NSF are involved, and thank-yous, please see https://discuss.python.org/t/new-packaging-security-funding-nyu/7792 . -- Sumana Harihareswara Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/MUH254XTCE5EUL5YJV7ZD6HSUYNFXUD6/
