My biggest problem with python's module system is that ime, people usually just say to run pip install <some_dependency> rather than providing a lockfile, meaning new versions of that dependency can completely break their code
When a piece of software installs a Rabbit module into a library, it has to edit the module index so the interpreter knows about the module, which involves adding a 2-byte "installation source"
these sources are checked by carrot when doing things such as uninstalling a package, so that it doesn't try to remove a module installed by apt or whatever
but the registry of these sources is maintained by me, and it's an exclusive club to join
that way, carrot knows exactly who installed a module and how, so it doesn't do anything that could quietly break or desync something
@Bbrk24 Rabbit fixes that problem by allowing multiple versions of a library to be installed at once
@Seggan no
oh, also: By default, and I do not advise changing it, Rabbit's data (interpreter JARs, libraries, etc) will go in /opt/rabbit on Linux and C:/Program Files/Rabbit on Windows
@Ginger You still need to know which one to load, which doesn't help if they don't specify beyond an import statement and the install command in their README
Let me clarify the kind of situation I'm talking about: it's the equivalent to, in NodeJS, not having a package.json and just listing dependencies -- just names, not versions -- in the README. For some reason this is the overwhelming majority of what I've seen in Python and it's awful
I have an unrelated question about naming/abbreviation for my lang
So far, every operation in Trilangle has a three-letter abbreviation (e.g. - = "SUB"). I recently added three new operations, which I've tentatively called "threadspawn", "threadjoin", and "threadkill". How should I abbreviate those?
Also I seem to remember there being a way to craft a malicious tar file that expands differently on Windows vs Linux, because of backslashes in filenames
So, weirdly, I can unzip a file a friend made on windows. What it gives out is strange, and incorrect in a way I've not seen before.
<base directory stuff>
assets\Changes.txt
assets\DefaultConfig,txt
And so on. It's clearly meant to be a subdirectory, but they come out as files with a backslas...
Depends. NPM doesn't need any more because the libraries are all stored in a centralized location. SPM (Swift package manager) needs the repo URL, too, because it doesn't have that
Just like, if you're fetching a library from a specific source, or a specific version of it from the central repo, and you want to ensure it hasn't been tampered with it (e.g., you can do that in HTML nowadays)
