61/100 top PyPI packages ship full provenance
61 of the 100 most-downloaded packages on PyPI now ship with full provenance. The other 39 — including boto3, the single most-downloaded package on the index — ship with no provenance at all, and not one of the 100 sits in between.
PyPI finished rolling out its redesigned project pages on November 6, with a dedicated security tab that shows, per release, whether every file carries a digital attestation proving where it came from. I wanted to know what that badge actually looks like across the packages everyone installs, so I checked the top 100 by 30-day downloads and read the provenance state off each project's security tab. Same signal the UI shows you, no API tricks — PyPI's JSON API doesn't even expose attestations, so the page is the source of truth.
