C#: https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=bitcoin

There are 515 packages out of which only about 10 is worth looking into.

ok maybe you proved your point although with python 1019 packages come up. so that's almost twice as bad.

There is a huge difference between inserting code into someone else's existing project and letting people create new projects and publish them! My previous comment was about the later.

but still i think the argument could be made that "bitcoin" belongs in the standard library of python in the core

The package is not forked, the code on github is. And those forks don't release a package unless they have actually changed something or updated this abandoned project.

if you go to https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools you can see that master branch contains nothing. so i'm not sure where python is getting this "bitcoin 1.1.42" package from and how they are coming up with that particular version number. and even if you say they are getting it from such and such a place, you don't really have a way of verifying it short of comparing the files line by line visually. to see if they really are the same or not. that seems kind of inefficient but whatever.

If you are looking for no-bugs, you are out of luck because you will never find any code that has no bugs ever. The bigger they are the more bugs they have and no amount of license can solve it.

we can't be having software that generates the wrong bitcoin address. that could cost someone their lifetime savings.
