This means Py-Spy is safe to use against production Python code.
Hi, I looked into this and it seems to be a very interesting package. The trick is it's a Rust package and we might not have quite all the dependencies in yet. This is the dependencies we know of: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-rust-maintainers%40alioth-lists.debian.net Upstream will also need to upgrade certain dependencies to newer versions we already have, namely benfred-read-process-memory; winapi 0.3 would have to be used instead of kernel32-sys and winapi 0.2; mach 0.2 instead of 0.1, etc. Otherwise this might just be a fairly straightforward Rust package and would strangely fall under the Rust packaging team umbrella. A. -- Hard times are coming when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine some real grounds for hope. We will need writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries—the realists of a larger reality. - Ursula Le Guin
