πŸ‘Š TARIFF πŸ”₯

The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Python package that makes importing great again!

TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Python packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE!

Social engineering malware

Will save the world by foreshadowning the pypi.org delisting announcement

Great example of malware that uses social engineering to deceive and only later realize those good intentions were quite harmful.

One step away from requiring a PoW algo to fund package authors. Which is great unless running on a crap laptop from the stone ages. Then it becomes a barrier to entry or simply broken UX.

Don't like to hear this, but at some point in time this package will be delisted from pypi.org
