The white paper by Seth Larson outlines solutions for the 'Phantom Dependency' issue, detailing PEP 770 and the adoption of Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOMs). These initiatives aim to enhance the measurability of Python packages, allowing automated systems like vulnerability scanners to yield accurate results in complex software compositions. Notable projects such as numpy and pip are exploring PEP 770 and integrating SBOMs to improve cross-ecosystem dependency information. Support for these efforts can be bolstered through sponsorships for the Security Developer-in-Residence position.
