restricted mode (2.4.2)

[Wojciech Pawlikowski]

Hey,
I work on some project where main part (core) is coded in C
(for speed) and the rest is in Python. Python API is used
to launch python modules without using any exec() system()
calls (thread safe). During debugging I found that
many of Python modules fails to work because restricted mode:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "../modules/scan/dns_forward.py", line 167, in scan_element
     d = DNSForward(domainname)
   File "../modules/scan/dns_forward.py", line 20, in __init__
     self.__r = dns.resolver.Resolver()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 270, in 
__init__
     self.read_resolv_conf(filename)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 295, in 
read_resolv_conf
     f = open(f, 'r')
IOError: file() constructor not accessible in restricted mode

Is there any way to avoid this mode ?
