I build python servers. I've replaced most of the dependencies with just standard library code.
Removed Flask for http.server
Removed requests for urllib
Removed requirements.txt
Removed pip
Life is good
- maxerickson 3y agoI use urllib.request to avoid having a dependency in little scripts, but I can't say I think that requests is a big supply chain risk.
