[Python-Dev] Implementing restricted Python in Zope2

[ranjith kannikara]

Hi ,

I am really sorry that I couldn,t make clear in the first mail that
What I actually need. But Shane and my Gsoc mentor Sidnei have already
made it clear I think.

I would like to know how much the AST have been changed on moving from
python2.4 to python 2.5 so that I can bring the corresponding changes
in Zope2 to get it adapted to those changes in the AST. Also the
changes that have come to the builtin function and so which should
have affected the safety of a RestrictedPython sandbox.

As Shane have told a detailed list of such changes can help me than
the "Whats New" doc...

Ranjith.
