Embedding a restricted python interpreter

[Fuzzyman]

Fredrick Lundh (at www.effbot.org ) was working on a 'cut down python'
that only implements the bits of python he likes !! It would be great
if the core of that interpreter could be used as a 'restricted
interpreter'.

If you could externally disable os, sys, os.path modules etc  and limit
the set of modules, then you could have a useful restricted
environment. It would need a special interpreter though - so NO is the
short answer.
