I’m not a Python dev myself, but I know how many programs use it. If Google found a way to add some sort of telemetry to some core Python functionality (pip maybe?), it’s worthwhile for me to know to never install Python on my computer. Or at least not a newer version... or at least block Google’s telemetry IPs

- californical 6y agoI do care about Python development — my SO uses Python in her research — I just protest anything that gives Google my data as a rule. It sounds like that’s not the case here, but still worth verifying.
