[$] Python security transparency
As Steve Dower noted in his lightningtalk at the 2017 Python LanguageSummit, Python itself can be considered a securityvulnerability-because of its power, its presence on a target system isa boon to attackers. Now, Dower is trying to address parts of thatproblem with a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) that would enable systemadministrators and others to detect when Python is being used for anefarious purpose by increasing the "security transparency" of thelanguage. It is not a solution that truly thwarts an attacker's ability to use Python in an unauthorized way, but will make it easier foradministrators to detect, and eventually disable, those kinds of attacks.
