Programming Leftovers

A Python program can be outside of a virtual environment it uses
A while ago I wrote about installing modules to a custom location, and in that entry one reason I said for not doing this with a virtual environment was that I didn't want to put the program involved into a virtual environment just to use some Python modules. Recently I realized that you don't have to, because of how virtual environments add themselves to sys.path. As long as you run your program using the virtual environment's Python, it gets to use all the modules you installed in the venv. It doesn't matter where the program is and you don't have to move it from its current location, you just have to change what 'python' it uses.

Avoiding Source Code Spoofing
The problems here are not solely a security issue: text with different writing directions or confusable characters can be hard to work with. Finding a solution here is important from both security and usability points of view. Developers of source code editors or compilers should not be required to have a deep knowledge of Unicode to provide good user experience and robust security mitigations.
