I have no idea what the answer is but I'm curious why you would care?
Are you expecting that your code will be run on an IBM mainframe?

I'd have thought that in most cases those boxes would only be running 
Python  in situations where the admins have carefully controlled the 
code that's loaded - and by implication taken care of whatever you are 
trying to do - or, they would be running virtual machines that look like 
non-mainframes?

Now, I have no experience of either zLinux or of using Python on a 
mainframe so I don't know if my guesses are accurate, but I am curious 
why you are concerned? Is it a known issue or are you just being super 
careful?
