Safely allowing people to enter/upload and then execute Python code is
very difficult. From my brief research into that question a little
while (a year or two) ago, the answer was that can't really be done in
any general way. IIRC, some promising work was done in PyPy to address
this problem, but the sandbox stuff never got moved to Py3?
