PEP 517 specifies a standard API for systems which build Python packages. This package contains wrappers around the hooks specified by PEP 517. It provides: * A mechanism to call the hooks in a subprocess, so they are isolated from the current process. * Fallbacks for the optional hooks, so that frontends can call the hooks without checking which are defined. * Higher-level functions which install the build dependencies into a temporary environment and build a wheel/sdist using them.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
