CVE 10 if you use you current version of Python to serve files over ftp, and parse the incoming files using the most obscure file type found in the forbidden libraries of the Vatican

And your ISO etc certificates make this CVE mandatory priority 1 action point

I think this one has more to do with excessive dependencies, and lack of splitting into individually installable packages and/or static linking.

I have already avoided having to evaluate whether I am affected by some issue because I added patches at startup that crash before certain unused-yet-installed modules are to be loaded. Also, for those Python packages that still have a pure version that defers to stdlib and a separate muh-performance binary option with statically linked dependencies, I can generally just install the former and skip the version bumps for dependencies. The performance advantage may be negligible or negative outside of benchmarking 100k calls.. of code actually called 11 times a day, on a non-critical path.
