Double check sdist/bdist on pypi

Honesty

There's a long tail of people doing interesting/sketchy things to packages on pypi. Most aren't malicious, but this project gives you an easy way to check for some of the obvious ways that packages might be tampered with.

Usage

honesty list <package name>
honesty check <package name>[==version|==*] [--verbose]
honesty download <package name>[==version|==*] [--dest=some-path/]

It will store a package cache by default under ~/.cache/honesty/pypi but you can change that with HONESTY_CACHE env var. If you have a local bandersnatch, specify HONESTY_INDEX_URL to your /simple/ url.

Exit Status

These are bit flags to make sense when there are multiple problems. If you pass * for version, they are or'd together.

0   if only sdist or everything matches
1   if only bdist
2   (reserved for future "extraction error")
4   some .py from bdist not in sdist
8   some .py files present with same name but different hash in sdist (common
    when using versioneer or 2to3)
