| ▲ | Show HN: I built a PyPI watchdog that tests whether packages work(sovereignmail.org) | |

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. https://github.com/PregnantPenguins789/vps-pypi-place https://github.com/PregnantPenguins789/yggcrawl | ||
