No No No, please do not encourage people to do this. Curl pipe is a horrible anti security pattern and you are encouraging people to be irresponsible with patching binaries from the internet.

The weird thing is talking about "curl pipe"ing into Python when you have a local copy? Wha?

The now-retracted comment talked about rewriting the Python into a shell script that you could toss on a web server and curl-pipe to run. I was pointing out that you can curl-pipe the original Python without rewriting it as shell.
