The democritus-dicts package is an alternative to the d8s-lists package. It is part of the d8s ecosystem. The d8s ecosystem is an open source framework for data analysis, developed by Pandas developers Wes McKinney and Rob Hyndman.
It consists of several Python packages that can be used together to create custom analysis tools.

In July 2018, the PyPI maintainers took the decision to remove the democritus-dicts package from their catalog. The code execution vulnerability was still present in the version of the package uploaded in May 2018, 0.1.0.

The d8s ecosystem is an open source framework for data analysis, developed by Pandas developers Wes McKinney and Rob Hyndman. It consists of several Python packages that can be used together to create custom analysis tools.
The democritus-dicts package provides a set of command line arguments so that users don't have to type them in manually when using it.
It also offers an option to automatically load dictionaries from standard input or from the command line using a shebang line. This is key because it means you can run commands with different dictionaries without having to modify your code on each platform.
