Thanks for your feedback. It is nice to get feedback from someone besides
onpon4.
Abrowser uses an alternative website to the Mozilla one to handle extensions
and onpon4 may suggest having something similar to handle pip packages.
Technically, if a person is using pip, they do it all through the command
line anyways and aren't required to browse a web page like with the Mozilla
extensions.
Having either a whitelist or blacklist does require some work, but if we have
an editable .txt file in the Trisquel GitLab repository for the package
helper, I'm sure packages could be added to the list easily.
So if we do the whitelist route, what is the best method? Do I write a script
that calls Requests on each of the category pages that we know are free,
scrapes the names, and adds to a list or SQLite DB? Or would manual
intervention need to happen?
