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.
CacheYou is a fork of CacheControl which is a port of the caching algorithms in httplib2 for use with requests session object.
import requests
from cacheyou import CacheControl
sess = requests.session()
cached_sess = CacheControl(sess)
response = cached_sess.get('http://google.com')
If the URL contains any caching based headers, it will cache the result in a simple dictionary.
