Hi,

I heard at comp.lang.python that rexec/bastion have
some security holes.
Accidentily I wrote some "sandbox" code for
integrating python into a mathematical appcliation:
users should be able to write some mathematical
functions of their own without doing harm.
So, I'd really be interested if my implementation
is safe, or if has the same drawbacks as
rexec/bastion.
The code with some demonstrations can
be downloaded from
http://pythonstuff.procoders.net.
I'd really appreciate any comments.

Greetings, Uwe Schmitt
