[$] Adding auditing to pip
A tool to discover known security vulnerabilities in the Python packages installed ona system or required by a project, called pip-audit, was recentlydiscussed on the Python discussionforum. The developers of pip-audit raisedthe idea of adding the functionality directly into the pip package installer, rather thankeeping it as a separately installable tool. While the functionality provided bypip-audit was seen as a clear benefit to the ecosystem, moving itinside the pip "tent" was not as overwhelmingly popular. It is not obvious that auditing is part of the role that the packageinstaller should play.
