virtualenv makes it trivial. It's not like it's strictly enterprise-grade tech.
How does vrtualenv make maintaining, auditing, and using a local mirror of dependencies trivial? Seems to me I can download a poisoned package into a venv cache just as easily as I can download it with wget, and unless I take the time to check, Iām none the wiser either way.

I was referring specifically to not being able to deploy due to a package manager being down. Of course there are still issues that can crop up with using virtualenv.
Itty bitty company making a social website on a shoestring budget/runway with very few developers? Might just be worth postponing a release a day or two if NPM or GitHub are having issues.
