PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Apologies is a Python library that implements a game similar to the Sorry board game. On UNIX-like platforms, it includes a console demo that plays the game with automated players, intended for use by developers and not by end users. See the documentation for notes about the public interface.
It was written as a learning exercise and technology demonstration effort, and serves as a complete example of how to manage a modern (circa 2020) Python project, including style checks, code formatting, integration with IntelliJ, CI builds at GitHub, and integration with PyPI and Read the Docs.
