πŸ‘Š TARIFF πŸ”₯

The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Python package that makes importing great again!

TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Python packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE!

Social engineering malware

Will save the world by foreshadowning the pypi.org delisting announcement

Great example of malware that uses social engineering to deceive and only later realize those good intentions were quite harmful.

One step away from requiring a PoW algo to fund package authors. Which is great unless running on a crap laptop from the stone ages. Then it becomes a barrier to entry or simply broken UX.

Don't like to hear this, but at some point in time this package will be delisted from pypi.org

Because foreign packages have been STEALING our CPU cycles for TOO LONG! It's time to put AMERICA FIRST and make importing FAIR and BALANCED again!

Hello! i have an inferiority complex. Would like to leave the impression to everyone that i'm a very important person.

For my packages, how to make imports install duration correlated to my deep inferiority complex? To give the impression of compiling a massive code base written in a low level language. Rather than this ducked typed language static type checked with pre py312 knowhow (which is the truth!).

American Python packages should run like American motorcycles, bleeding oil all over the road.

Lets Make America clunky af again

This may or may not be sarcasm

It's really really dangerous to expose a parody onto a package author whose written both a build backend and a requirements parser. If Trump found out about this, the build backend might incorporate tariff.

This is one plugin away from becoming a feature

Heil cobra!!
