⚠ Tarball exceeded 25 MB — source code analysis was limited to package metadata only.

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package has low risks in terms of network, shell execution, obfuscation, and credential handling, but the metadata shows some concerns with an incomplete author name and potential inactivity, raising suspicion.

  • Missing maintainer's author name
  • Potential inactivity of the maintainer
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal unless the package's functionality requires external communication.
  • Shell: No shell execution detected, indicating no immediate risk of unauthorized command execution.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious intent.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, suggesting safe handling of sensitive information.
  • Metadata: The package shows some red flags but no clear signs of malicious intent. The maintainer's author name is missing and they appear to be new or inactive.

💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with act-atmos
Create a weather analysis tool using the 'act-atmos' Python package that allows users to visualize and analyze atmospheric time series data. The tool should enable users to import their own dataset or use predefined datasets included in the 'act-atmos' package. Here are the key features your application should include:

1. **Data Importation**: Users should be able to upload CSV files containing atmospheric time series data. The application should validate the data format and handle common errors gracefully.
2. **Data Visualization**: Implement interactive plots using libraries like Matplotlib or Plotly to display temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind speed over time. Allow users to select which parameters they want to plot and adjust the time range dynamically.
3. **Statistical Analysis**: Provide basic statistical analysis tools such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and correlation coefficients between different parameters. Use 'act-atmos' functions to process the data efficiently and accurately.
4. **Forecasting Module**: Incorporate a simple forecasting model to predict future atmospheric conditions based on historical data. Utilize 'act-atmos' for preprocessing and feature extraction before feeding the data into a machine learning model.
5. **User Interface**: Develop a clean, user-friendly interface using frameworks like Flask or Django for web-based deployment, or Tkinter for desktop applications. Ensure the UI is responsive and intuitive.
6. **Documentation and Help**: Include comprehensive documentation and tooltips within the application to guide users through its functionalities.

Your task is to outline the steps needed to develop this application, from setting up the environment to deploying it. Make sure to utilize the 'act-atmos' package effectively throughout the development process.
