PyPI invalidates tokens stolen in GhostAction supply chain attack

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-24 14:09:09

The Python Software Foundation team has invalidated all PyPI tokens stolen in the GhostAction supply chain attack in early September, confirming that the threat actors didn't abuse them to publish malware. These tokens are used to publish packages on the Python Package Index (PyPI), a software repository that acts as the default source for Python's package management tools and hosts hundreds of thousands of packages.

PythonBPF – Writing eBPF Programs in Pure Python

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-29 08:29:47

Introduction Python-BPF offers a new way to write eBPF programs entirely in Python, compiling them into real object files. This project is open-source and available on GitHub and PyPI. I wrote it alongside R41k0u. Published Library with Future Plans Python-BPF is a published Python library with plans for further development towards production-ready use. You can pip install pythonbpf but it’s certainly not at all production ready and the code is hacky at best with more bugs than I could count

Real-Time Voice Cloning This repository is an implementation of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis (SV2TTS) with a vocoder that works in real-time. This was my master's thesis. SV2TTS is a deep learning framework in three stages. In the first stage, one creates a digital representation of a voice from a few seconds of audio. In the second and third stages, this representation is used as reference to generate speech given arbitrary text. Video

Python has had async for 10 years – why isn't it more popular?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-21 06:24:57

The Python Documentary dropped this morning. In the middle of the documentary, there’s a dramatic segment about how the transition from Python 2 to 3 divided the community (spoiler alert: it didn’t in the end). The early versions of Python 3 (3.0-3.4) were mostly focused on stability and offering pathways for users moving from 2.7. Along came 3.5 in 2015 with a new feature: async and await keywords for executing coroutines. Ten years and nine releases later, Python 3.14 is weeks away. Whilst

Anatomy of a Python Loop

news.ycombinator.com Oren Cohen 2025-10-21 15:42:22

Learn Python loops the fun way by rolling dice, casting fireballs, and finally understanding what continue really does. Last time, when we built our little dice-rolling function, we learned how to package up logic into reusable blocks. One die roll at a time was cool… but any tabletop nerd knows the real action starts when you need to roll lots of dice. 3d6 for ability scores. 8d6 for a fireball spell. Or the cruel 10d10 your DM makes you roll when things go really sideways. So how do we te

Do I not like Ruby anymore? (2024)

Do I not like Ruby anymore? 2024/05/28 I recently started working at a Python shop. The reasons behind this choice of employment are very much unrelated to the technology stack. Python is not my favorite programming language. In fact, allow me to drop the euphemism and express my pure, unadulterated thoughts about it: I never liked Python, I see it as a huge red flag and I think the world would be a better place if we all decided to finally move on from it.

The passion was there — we were doing good in the world.” Yet surprisingly, Python traveled a bumpy early road on its way to becoming the world’s #1 most popular programming language, safely ensconced in the nonprofit Python Software Foundation that would help it grow through the years.
