Hot Take:

Oh, the woes of Pythonistas! PyPI has become the digital equivalent of an all-you-can-eat buffet for malware munchers. The recent ban on new user registrations is like putting a "Closed for Fumigation" sign on the front door. Will it be enough to exterminate the cyber critters? Only time will tell, but for now, developers might have to forage elsewhere for their coding ingredients.
