The target date for deployment has shifted forward to EOQ Q1 (end of September). Who's the best person to review this Python library?

Who's the best person to review this Python library?

@Bawolff @dpatrick: IIRC you were the folks to ping in this context. I apologise if that's not the case.

Yes. We will add it to our list of things to review.

Thank you, @Bawolff!

In addition to pdfrw, it's looking increasingly likely that we're going to have to use BeautifulSoup for easy DOM querying and manipulation. At this time we won't be using any external parsers such as lxml, but we'll use Python's built in html.parser. Should I create a new task for this? Not sure if any past projects have used this library before, but ORES or Wikimetrics don't seem to use it.

Yes, please create a separate task requesting that review. Thanks.

Done: T178077: Security review of Beautiful Soup

I checked out the WIP ppg code in the description of T171960 and I'm wondering whether that will be invoked by the Node service (T177765), returning a ready-to-read PDF which has ToC, page numbers, etc., or will the Node service just render an article which will then be post-processed (adding ToC, page numbers, etc.) separately? I'm asking to ascertain whether the script which will use pdfrw will be firejailed. This question is not a blocker. I'm just curious.

I think we'll have the Node service render an article only. We may need to build another service that takes the PDF from the Node service and post-processes it using ppg. I'm not sure if that's what we will end up doing though.
