 Replying to [comment:4 daira]:
 > If I understand correctly, pip by itself does not help you at all in
 verifying the integrity of dependencies; *at most* it will download the
 package you're directly installing over https.

 More about what pip actually does: [https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-
 backend/pull/1#discussion-diff-4084881].

 I dispair of Python package installation tools getting any better unless
 one is written COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH by someone who knows what they're
 doing.
