Comment on PyPI Blog: Releases now reject new files after 14 daysparent

Comments

Worth noting, because I think it’s confusing some folks on this comments page, that “file” here is “a wheel for a platform” or “a complete sdist”, not “each individual .py file in a release”

You can’t go back later and add “evil.py” to a bunch of existing release files, but you could previously go find a bunch of releases that didn’t have arm64 files, publish malicious ones, and use that to catch people using those versions on arm64 systems
