And in fact wasn't a popular Python library just compromised very recently? See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47501426.

So Python's clearly not "batteries included" enough to avoid this kind of risk.

That's my point. You can have a large standard library like those languages I mentioned, but that isn't going to include everything nor cover every use case, so you'll have external libraries (via PyPi for Python, NuGet for .NET, and Maven for Java/JVM).
