The function opens a TCP socket to 34.69.137.236 on port 80/443, duplicates the socket file descriptor over stdin/stdout/stderr via os.dup2, and execs `/bin/sh -i` via subprocess.call, handing an interactive shell to the remote endpoint. The function is not listed in `__all__` and is not referenced in the README, which advertises the package as a dashboard panel/grid helper (PanelGrid, normalize_margin, scale_for_breakpoint, panel_version). Any process that imports this package — including build systems, test runners, or downstream applications — will establish a reverse shell to the attacker on a default install + import.
