Clarity on what is embedded in the get-platformio.py

[eabase]

Hi,

Before I run random blobs of executable code downloaded from internet, I would very much appreciate if you provide some transparency to what exaclty is embedded in your "installation" blob.

• https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core-installer/blob/develop/get-platformio.py

• What is inside?

• What does it do?

• Why are there python packages embedded there?

• Why are is that python code and those packages not provided in clear text in this repo?

This code is acting like malware!

You're closing security vulnerabilities without fixing them! 😠 💩
