    tl;dr

    • cooldown

    Give security researchers time to detect supply chain attacks, by delaying installing a package’s latest release by n days. Where n is delay before security researchers are able to acknowledge sarcasm (aka some arbitrary number).

    $> pip install --uploaded-prior-to=P3D pip --force-reinstall # exclude the recent pip release

    Where 3D is delay by 3 days. From the context, guess P means prior, not pussy, pizza, nor pedocrat. Actually your guess is as good as mine. I’m confused what P is supposed to mean, especially given the state of the dating scene.

    some foreplay and teasing

      The P means Period and is part of ISO8601.

      The format looks like PnYnMnDTnHnMnS (no milliseconds), so concretely P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S.

      The P is required to designate a period, the T only shows up if you have any Hours, Minutes or Seconds defined.
