Summary: rexec.r_eval() does not work like eval()

Initial Comment:
I want to use the eval() function of python as simple
ultra-restricted expression evaluator. So, when
executing r_eval(), I want to pass a dictionnary of the
local and global variables, just like it is possible
with eval(). However, r_eval() does not allow it.

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/module-rexec.html 
reads: "17.1 rexec -- Restricted execution framework" 
 
so it looks like the module does provide a "Restricted execution 
framework", no ? 
 
Now, I assume that you mean that the module has been marked 
obsolete in the most recent of python (which I am not using). 
 
Is there any replacement available ?

The rexec module does not provide restricted execution, so
you should not be using it in the first place.

Closing this as "won't fix".
