Zope doesn't use restricted execution. In Zope 2.4, the RestrictedPython project uses the compiler package to generate safe bytecode from Python source code. I presume something similar could be achieved using jythonc, but don't know how hard that would be.

If we have one its this: The project(s) -- including the just announced phabric effort -- are worthwhile. We are happy to give advice and make changes to help the projects where we can. I expect the same holds true for the rest of Zope Corp. If there are genuine CPython/Jython incompatibilities that hinder the project, there's no reason not to fix them. The project may also serve as a vehicle to further explore what metaobject protocols should be exported by Jython. Jeremy
