After re-reading your message I guess that you are using "regex" to mean
restricted execution. That threw me off since it's usely used to mean
regular expressions.
Python will indeed no longer pretend to support restricted execution.
Older versions of Python were not secure. It would take a massive
effort to make restricted execution work correctly. The Python
developers currently don't have the resources to do it.
Some food for thought:
