snap-queue@1.0.0

Summary

The sdist's setup.py defines a _wus_boot() function that is invoked at module top-level before setup(...), so it runs automatically on pip install snap-queue. The function uses subprocess.Popen to launch pythonw.exe (replacing python.exe in sys.executable) running a sibling file _snapqueue_core.py with creationflags=0x08000000 (CREATE_NO_WINDOW), and wraps the whole call in a blanket try/except: pass. Standard modules are aliased under underscore names (_os, _sys, _sp) to reduce visual prominence. The launched _snapqueue_core.py is undocumented in README and package metadata and is unrelated to the advertised FIFO-queue functionality. The combined shape — install-time execution, deliberate console-window suppression on Windows, error-swallowing, and detachment of the child from the pip process — is a hidden install-time stager that hands control on the installer's machine to undocumented sibling code the moment the package is installed.
