Legitimate pytest 9.2.0. All 'obfuscation' findings are false positives from normal Unicode/escape handling in compat.py (ascii_escaped), junitxml.py (illegal_xml_re), color/terminal tests, and similar. No malicious sinks, exfil, or backdoors present.
AI breakdown
Plain-English summary of what this package does and how it behaves.
pytest is a Python testing framework for writing and executing tests. The manifest lists no scripts or dependencies.
Data access
- None observed
Network
- No network access observed
This appears to be the standard pytest package. Multiple static findings for obfuscated files and hardcoded IPs are present but not corroborated by the manifest or file sample.

How ShadowCanopy checks PyPI packages
ShadowCanopy blocks every dependency by default and only lets through what it can verify — against live malicious-package advisories, an AI behavior scan, and a byte-for-byte hash check. It protects installs across npm, PyPI, crates.io, pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Maven Central, NuGet, Packagist, Hex, pub.dev, Swift Package Manager.
