This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. SpecifierSet('>=2.0').contains('2.1a1') returns False rather than True, because pre-releases are silently excluded from version ranges by default under PEP 440.
  2. assert Version('2.1a1') > Version('2.0')
  3. assert not SpecifierSet('>=2.0').contains('2.1a1')
  4. assert SpecifierSet('>=2.0').contains('2.1a1', prereleases=True)
