Well, the Perl documentation has some good information on this in the section 
about 'tainted variables'; while the code examples are typically Perl (i.e. 
unreadable), the basics are pretty much the same -- both python & perl are 
interpreted languages with much automatic boundary checking. 

If you happen to have perl (w. documentation) installed on your system, 
'perldoc perlsec' will give you this page; It's also online at 
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/perlsec.html
