In the README you repeatedly say that this package "Executes Python inside Flutter" when in reality
a copy of the packages user source is being uploaded to an undisclosed closed source server here.

Even if you put aside all the malicious potential on this practice (there are so many things that can go wrong here that I don't even know how to start), this impacts offline usage, performance and reliability.

I think this should be at least disclosed upfront.

Totally agree. It seems like there is no encryption when users send their scripts to the API through HTTP (not HTTPS) request. Moreover, how the users know how their data will be governed on your backend?

It might be a good proof of concept but you have to tell people their data is leaving their app to an undisclosed location with unknown retention policy. Someone is going to use this to transition some python code that crunches health data and then have a very miserable time with the GDPR legal people. Please say upfront.
