> I've wondered about standard libraries for a while now. What happens if you discover a security vulnerability in your stdlib? That depends on what you are writing. For an application that is deployed stand-alone, you'll likely fat-package it with python and all the libraries. In case of a security issue, you create a new version of your application that bundles the fixed python. For an application that is deployed on the system python (more typical on Linux), it's the system admin's task to update the system python.
