Security, UX, and Sustainability For The Python Package Index

PyPI is a core component of the Python ecosystem that most developer's have interacted with as either a producer or a consumer.

In this episode Nicole Harris and William Woodruff discuss their recent work to add new security capabilities and improve the overall accessibility and user experience. It is a worthwhile exercise to consider how much effort goes into making sure that we don't have to think much about this piece of infrastructure that we all rely on.
