Introducing Bandit, a Python code security analyzer
What sort of vulnerabilities will this never find? In other words, if I run this on my code and it looks clean, what else should I look for manually, besides completely unpredictable, code specific vulns? More on reddit.com

Python code for security analysis using Bandit - Stack Overflow
I would like to get python code for an analysis using Bandit static analyzer. The main emphasis is security, for python 2.7. Can anyone help ? More on stackoverflow.com
Has anyone have practical experience working with Multi arm bandit and Contextual Bandit problems . What libraries to use and some good resources that helped you in your projects . I came across Vowpal Wabbit library and methods like Thompson sampling, Epsilon greedy, but I feel I am lost .
We use a variation of a Bayesian bandit as part of our trading platform. It’s fantastic as we have the classic problem of not knowing the outcome for the arm we do not pull. My experience was that we got a lot more out of getting our loss function and clustering working than by using more intelligent sampling strategies. Likewise the use of floors in the probability distributions allow for some lovely features form a business perceptive. At the time, we just rolled our own code in numpy. So much of what we were doing was non standard it was the best bet. More on reddit.com

r/netsec on Reddit: Introducing Bandit, a Python code security analyzer
November 25, 2014 - If you take a look through the tests we've defined (http://git.openstack.org/cgit/stackforge/bandit/tree/bandit/plugins), you can get a feel for what we're looking for. We plan to reuse some of these patterns to identify other vulnerabilities, as well as extending the framework to allow us to identity different classes. We have a growing TODO list of actions that should help improve our coverage. At some point we'll likely do a gap analysis against some set of 'secure coding practices' for Python, but haven't got there yet.

I've got an answer here:
Two ways:
- You can skip the B703 and B308 using the --skip argument to the command line.
- Or you can affix a comment
# nosecon the line to skip.https://bandit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#exclusions

Heads up for annotating multilines with # nosec:
given:
li_without_nosec = [
"select * from %s where 1 = 1 "
% "foo"
]
li_nosec_at_start_works = [ # nosec - ✅ and you can put a comment
"select * from %s where 1 = 1 "
% "foo"
]
# nosec - there's an enhancement request to marker above line
li_nosec_on_top_doesntwork = [
"select * from %s where 1 = 1 "
% "foo"
]
li_nosec_at_end_doesntwork = [
"select * from %s where 1 = 1 "
% "foo"
] # nosec
output:

Black
Here's hoping that black won't get involved and restructure the lines, moving the # nosec around.
so much for hope... black does move things around, just like it does with pylint directives, whenever the line length becomes too long. At which point # nosec ends up at the end.
You can either proactively break up the line and position # nosec at the first one. Or you can just wait out black and adjust if needed.
