tox VS homebrew-core

Tox is a powerful tool in Python development, primarily used for automating and standardised testing across multiple environments. It’s part of a larger vision of easing the packaging, testing, and release process of Python software. You should consider using tox in the following scenarios if your application needs to run across different Python versions, tox can help ensure your code works consistently across all these versions; If your project has complex dependencies, tox can manage and isolate these dependencies in different environments.

Another less heavyweight solution than Docker is Tox – handy for when you need to test software with multiple different versions of Python.

Is disabling the compromised repo the typical GitHub policy? My concern is there are monorepos used by package managers, like brew, that are a collection of thousands of projects [1]. These monorepos seem like a prime target for attack and if GitHub disables one because a malicious commit was merged then you've taken down an entire ecosystem.

> Correct. Though we do not appear to be affected, this revert was done out of an abundance of caution.

> right, but now you know even less about your setup when you some roadblock

This is the same with a binary though. And with homebrew, you can't follow patches or flags used or if they change.

definitely be careful about using fortune in a corporate environment or public space if you don't know what dat files you are using or you might just get an extremely unwelcome surprise.

I was practicing a presentation and used to use "fortune" all the time. I forget exactly what it output but I remember being absolutely mortified about what could have happened if that had popped up during an internal company tech talk.

Kudos to brew for keeping unsuspecting people safe

I'm sorry to be asking this as I find it a bit silly, but it's blocking my PR [3], so could a few of you star the project on Github [1] to get my PR to run?
