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

Uwe, Your request is more appropriately posted to c.l.py (as in, it's not appropriate for python-dev, so by default c.l.py is a better choice ;-). The python-dev list is focused on Python development, not issues related to specific applications. I don't know just what the rexec/bastion holes are, but I've been led to believe they got much bigger when new-style classes became available. Skip
