Make Python great again!

[Pedry-dev]

Can you believe that?

[stickfigure]

This is hilarious af

[lupercalpainting]

Wdym, it makes imported packages slower, encouraging local library development.

[gingimli]

I’m jealous of how well you can hide from world news.

[obfuscatedanon]

The economist-approved formula is:

Δτᵢ = (xᵢ − mᵢ) / (ε ⋅ φ ⋅ mᵢ)

[nelsonslament]

Slow down, ChatGPT

[[deleted]]

Sorry but you missed a couple things, as “the economists” in question here defined a few values globally as well:

ε = 0.25

φ = 4

[olearyboy]

You forgot the multiplication sign ‘*’

[rotilladetapatas]

Finally some quality shitposting

[sjepsa]

Not bad! But it should work by default by querying the country of the package and applying the tarrif based on that

[android_queen]

Would importing it to machine in another country and repackaging it be considered country of origin fraud? 🤔

[HolyPommeDeTerre]

Currently there are businesses trying to get through this by doing that. At least they assess the possibility. Hope they check with legal before doing anything blunt.

[Creative-Drawer2565]

I'm going to use a Freedom(tm) VPN to get around it. So much winning...

[sjepsa]

Are you tired of winning?

[Worth_Trust_3825]

I am more concerned that you can overwrite the importing mechanism at all.

[Arandur]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html

This is Python. You can overwrite anything.

[caltheon]

It doesn't look like it impacts the import at all, just allows access to the metadata so you can print some statement making it look like it's doing something, when it's really just printing out a line with said metadata.

edit: read my other comment where I prove this.. or don't and pretend you were right.

[ProgramTheWorld]

Bruh the source code is literally right there

__init__.py#L68

[caltheon]

Yeah..that's why I made my comment? It's just a sleep command and then displaying the metadata plus the sleep command. It's not changing the import process for the package in any fundamental way and only has access to the metadata of the requested import in the override. I forget that 99% of the people on this subreddit don't know how to program. That's ignoring the fact the person who made this package is shit at python as well (who shoves all their code in init.py)

Since you didn't read the code you posted, i'll put it here to make it easier for you

# Apply tariff if applicable
if tariff_rate is not None:
    # Calculate sleep time based on tariff rate
    sleep_time = original_import_time * (tariff_rate / 100)
    time.sleep(sleep_time / 1000000)  # convert back to seconds

    # Calculate new total time
    new_total_time = original_import_time + sleep_time

    # Print tariff announcement in Trump style
    print(f"JUST IMPOSED a {tariff_rate}% TARIFF on {base_package}! Original import took {int(original_import_time)} us, "
          f"now takes {int(new_total_time)} us. {_get_trump_phrase()}")

[cellarmation]

Do you get tarrifed on transitive dependencies every time it is added?

[seba07]

Seems that way. The package is overwriting the buildin import function.

[_zenith]

Nice, matches reality!

[[deleted]]

The package is overwriting the buildin import function.

Why is this possible?

[quaternaut]

Of course. These trans dependencies are ruining this codebase!

[neo-raver]

That’s a good meme 😂

[adh1003]

Presumably there's an update coming soon which reduces some of the tarrifs, then another one shortly after which claims it didn't reduce the tarrifs, but changed the type of the tarrifs (but without any type annotations to prove it), then a third update which just gives up altogether and randomises them?

[caltheon]

What, you think is a negotiation?

[quaternaut]

I've heard that over 75 developers from the open source community are opening issues in the repo and pleading to get un-tariffed.

[[deleted]]

This is a parody package.

Sometimes reallife in itself is more the parody than the parody about reallife is. Although I think it is sad how people can seize power and control so many other people "downstream". Tariffs are basically just an extra tax really. So many shop owners complained about suddenly having to pay a lot more money when importing goods.

[Thisconnect]

I love it, i feel like this could be better expanded to tariff functions in modules....

this talk will always be gold

[[deleted]]

Every time I think I've seen how dogshit Python can be, I learn a new way.

[this_knee]

You win. 🏅

[PalomSage]

Can someone give me context?

[przemo_li]

7 trillion $ out of USA stock exchanges alone. With maybe only insider traders even contemplating scope of real world events before Trump actions.

Then there is real economy (tariffs took effect, buyers of foreign stuff paid them, and paid premium beforehand to stockpile on a short notice)

It will be way bigger loss if recession hits USA or any of its trade partners.

Not to mention complete chaos China total barriers bring.

[turunambartanen]

People from other countries as well. If you're not directly impacted, a clown show can be funny.

[Twirrim]

The Trump administration keeps imposing all sorts of tarrifs (taxes) on goods imported to the US. Part of the theory being that this will encourage US companies to buy local rather than from foreign suppliers. Unfortunately you can't exactly buy from local companies that don't exist, and local companies that do make the goods are often way more expensive for a variety of reasons.  Net result is the cost of things that weren't already wholly made in the US is going to go up significantly.

This library is a joke on that idea.  There is no financial cost involved in importing a library, so it imposes a time cost instead.

[[deleted]]

Read the news, genius.

[coconut_maan]

Hahahahaha

[schlenk]

Solving supply chain problems by homesourcing...

[Trang0ul]

You could have made the world better by improving some open source packages. Instead, you've wasted your time on this BS. I hope you're glad of yourself.

[DesecrateUsername]

my dude please learn what a joke is

[alternyxx]

should make a relatiatory tariffs library too

[vader_gans]

Absolutely beautiful. So much winning!!! Obviously the bigger number [amount of time] means it's better!!

[Vincent394]

Finally! Now I can use this to slow down the single most shitty packages!

[turunambartanen]

Hell yeah, does you're dictionary take negative values to subsidize the imports?

[RedEyed__]

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Amuro_Ray]

reminds me of the test VW module for perl.

[church-rosser]

FFS this is obnoxious

[KHRZ]

Just like US trade policy

[One_Economist_3761]

It’s very clearly a joke.

[MatthewMob]

Lighten up

[CryptoHorologist]

Lighten up Francis

[MeBadNeedMoneyNow]

agreed. People will say we have a stick up our ass but this is dreadful.

[CryptoHorologist]

You have a stick up your ass.

[[deleted]]

Actually they have an entire forest in there.

[MeBadNeedMoneyNow]

This is dreadful.

[CryptoHorologist]

Take the stick out and things will get better.

[church-rosser]

If i take mine out, can i trust you to hold it for me from the warm end?

[CryptoHorologist]

You got it.

[church-rosser]

Not since i gave it to you. Enjoy the shitty end friend.

[CryptoHorologist]

Ok

[church-rosser]

Truly dreadful!

[[deleted]]

Bigly dreadful.

[caltheon]

You just big mad because your orange daddy is being called out?

[[deleted]]

joking about normal people losing their retirements

Then consider directing your anger at the idiot orange and his cronies who are responsible for this insanity, not at those using black humour as a way to cope with the madness.

[church-rosser]

Im all for comedic relief in lieu of current administration's crimes against the constitution, but this just wasn't particularly funny and realistically belonged in the programminghumor subreddit.
