-Python in a Sandbox 
+description: 
+
+In the 17 years of Python existence there have been numerous 
+approaches to "sandbox" Python, Zope's RestrictedPython 
+and Google AppEngine being popular examples.  PyPy takes 
+a fresh approach and allows to systematically control 
+all access to Files and IO.  This not only allows 
+to prevent a process from accessing system resources 
+but it allows to provide a fully virtualized system environment - 
+for example a Python program cannot easily detect that its
+file objects are in fact provided by another Python process. 
+
+Not only Files and IO but also RAM and CPU usage are controlable 
+which makes the PyPy approach probably the first to 
+provide a fully sandboxed Python environment without placing
+restrictions on language usage. 
+
+We'll also discuss discuss some open issues and will take 
+further discussion - probably schedule Open Space time
+to discuss further work. 
+
+Note that in this talk we will not talk much about 
+architecture and other aspects of the PyPy projects.
