I've heard about 'Do not eval() code from the Internet'", but there are
not such eval and unsecure things.
The shell code was designed to be safe, and I've not yet seen problems.
It do the same things as the python code, probably using the same code
(C library to do the core things), with the same security.
BTW I plan to push the ubuntu python code also in Debian package, and
asking for a unblock (python code is somewhat more manageable
than shell, considering that Intel cannot really have a stable
method to release new firmware).
PS: and done correctly, e.g. the ubuntu patch lacked of python
dependency.
