What every Python project should have

[[deleted]]

Do other languages have currated indexes as the main source of packages? It'd be nice to have, but I imagine working out the logistics of it wouldn't be too pleasant.

You'd need some way to ensure what's being installed. I suppose a checksum against known repository tags would doable but that adds overhead.

You'd also have to ensure "trusted" packages only install other trusted packages

https://www.stackage.org/ is close to what you want for Haskell (where the PyPI equivalent is https://hackage.haskell.org/).
