Yes, but they do filter bash_history client side, only transmitting pip-related commands. They did this to find additional common typos. The relevant code: def get_command_history(): if os.name == 'nt': # handle wind

I appreciate the proactive approach. Is your project the author of the packages identified by NBU? If so: (1) Why is the tracking pingback obfuscated? (2) Why does the code include a cheeky hello instead of a link to https://www.

Thank you so much for this! Often when I'm online, it's only to access documentation. This might be the way out... I wonder if someone has written a readthedocs importer for it.

What's the DMCA rational here? Admiral wants to run code in my browser to offer their service, and thus instructing my browser not to run their code is circumventing them in a way that violates DMCA? Screw that.
