How safe is pip install?
Good afternoon, I've been hearing a lot about the convenience of using "pip install" to manage Python packages, but I'm curious about the safety aspect of it. Can you elaborate on the potential risks associated with installing packages from PyPI or other sources using pip? Are there any security measures in place to prevent malicious code from being distributed and executed on users' systems? Additionally, what steps can developers and users take to ensure the safety of their installations? Thank you for your time.
