Remote imports for Python?

DWA, my new TLA of the day, thx. I think the DWA angle is interestingly core here. The modern world being a smaller place has had this evolution of putting oddities, and perhaps a shrinking amount of scattered human suffering under a metaphoric microscope. The sorts of news stories that make the feeds as well as the mainstream news are a lot like this. And unfortunately, the sensationalism outweighing a more rationally weighted perception seems to be the rule in this day and age. (Of course a lot more was more easily hidden from the public in the past, not claiming things overall were obviously better historically).

What I'm thinking in response to your comment is that such arguments of trying to protect people from shooting themselves in the foot don't seem that persuasive to me. I see a vast diverse ecosystem of developers, and I'm personally not bothered by the DWA factor. The news industry won't let the DWA factor fade, they'll just add another lense to that microscope and give people the entertaining idiot story to laugh at or be scared of for a moment.

Of course the example that comes to mind above is bannning swimming pools to save children because of course some parents who choose to have pools will fail, and kids will die. Somehow, for reasons I couldn't map out in a thesis, I'm more worried about the swimming pools than the dangers being talked about here if the feature gets added. And I've been able to swim for 3 decades now. I mean seriously, there will always be ways for software developers and businesses that rely on them to metaphorically shoot themselves in the foot. I don't see this as significantly effecting that in the long term. But OTOH, the obvious FOSS answer is - Fork Python if you care enough. Let the fittest thrive the most in the ecosystem. Somehow I doubt anyone cares about this feature that much. But it made for some sensationalist reaction commentary with academic entertainment value.
