What is the fundamental difference between pip and npm here? `pip install` will run whatever is in the `setup.py` of the package (and recursively do the same with any dependencies). That is essentially arbitrary code execution, no? This feels more like a numbers issue than a fundamental difference, i.e. Python packages generally have orders of magnitude fewer dependencies than JS ones because the standard library is very extensive. Most dependencies are major libraries rather than small ones, which are much less likely to be compromised.
