Steve Dower added the comment: And in case it's not clear, I *totally* recognize that AMSI is not for everyone. If you're running in a developer environment, your security is almost certainly so lax that it's irrelevant.
However, once you start getting serious about what's deployed on your production machines, Python gets ruled out very quickly because it lacks features like AMSI. Sysadmins don't want to enable a potential attack tool unless it's value drastically outweighs the risks (and on Windows, this is generally/currently not true), or there is sufficient insight into the behavior and use of the tool. If we want Python to be seen as a production tool and not just a developer tool (which I do), we need to address these concerns. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26137> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
