Helpful script, except it prints the same line regardless of the version found.

This is true. For example, the following shebang/uv header works on both macOS and Linux:

  #!/usr/bin/env -S uv --quiet run --script
  # /// script
  # requires-python = ">=3.13"
  # dependencies = [
  #     "python-dateutil",
  # ]
  # ///
  #
  # [python script that needs dateutil]

The quoted statement, "not a security issue", doesn't appear in the linked page, but via the Thread Prev link[1] I found Daniel Peebles explaining:

Yes, we did try with them first and they told us they didn’t consider it a security issue, so we posted to oss-security after making sure Apple understood we’d do that unless they asked us not to.

According[1] to NASA's Richard J. Burley, as of just after midnight UTC Jan 25 2018, they haven't yet attempted communication using DSN, but they're working on it:

I have attached the TLE I got this morning from JSPoC/CARA. Looks like a close match. We are in the process of engaging the Deep Space Network to see if they can get a signal lock. They (JPL/DSN) are in the process of digging up 13-year old configuration files for that attempt. The DSN has evolved since then so some adjustments to their system setups will be required.

I have no schedule estimate yet for when that first attempt will be made. If we are able to get signal lock and verify that it is IMAGE, we will setup a MINIMAL ops setup to verify telemetry/command and make an initial assessment of the health and viability of the spacecraft bus. I don't have a credible schedule prediction yet for that step either.

Thank you for all of your efforts for IMAGE. IMAGE made ~39 new discoveries about the Earth's magnetosphere and plasma-sphere. At the time it stopped radiating, NASA HQ ranked IMAGE as the 2nd most valuable space-physics mission flying. A follow-on mission called MMS, with a 4-spacecraft constellation is currently flying, in part, to follow up on these discoveries.
