This is extremely alarmist. If you are on Mac, developing anything at all with Python, those are going to be your tools. If you randomly guessed at developer setups, that is going to be one of the most common setups as well.

What's next, I use a computer so someone could just upload a virus somewhere in hopes I happen upon it, which would be dangerous?

I have dotfiles which not only specify Python, but also its version and some packages. That protects against typosquatting! I will never type those package names out manually again. And this is all in Nix (btw), so all hash-pinned!
