@veronica No, this is a rather misleading statement. OpenAI has zero control over any version of the #Astral tools that came out before the acquisition (unless they were secretly pulling the strings of the Astral developers behind the scenes all along, but AFAIK there's zero evidence of that, and if they were doing it why would they bring on additional scrutiny by announcing an acquisition?), and going forward, the #Python community can just stop using those tools. There are pure-Python alternatives for all of them, as well as the forks that will inevitably spring up. This is why we have standards. I'm sure there are a fair number of package developers that either don't know or don't care this is happening, and will keep using Astral tools out of sheer laziness, and I suppose those projects could be considered subject to some sort of "control" from OpenAI... but still, they have the choice to just, y'know, not be. Any time they want.
