Show HN: I built a PyPI watchdog that tests whether packages work(sovereignmail.org)
1 points by contentist 15 hours ago

The Python Package Index now curates over 700,000 packages. 10,000-15,000 are added daily. Nobody systematically checks whether they install and run across environments. I built something that does.

The watchdog pulls packages, attempts installs across multiple Python environments, runs basic import verification, and publishes results continuously. The dashboard is live at https://sovereignmail.org/pypiplace . Data is also broadcast over the Yggdrasil mesh network for anyone who wants to pull and verify it independently.

It's my first experiment running live on a free tier Oracle ARM instance.

I find it useful. And kinda cool. I'd love anybody who want to run it to do so.
