One possibility would be to use PyPy, with its new C extension support, to
get sandboxing.
intriguing idea. what's the purpose - make it possible to run
python2.4 code on a modern system?
Python 2.4 still runs fine on all modern systems as far as I know. My
suggestion was to enable running Python applets in the browser without
security problems. Python applets was part of the point of grail and the
rexec module in Python was created for this purpose; but rexec was
hopelessly flawed (there were always ways to break out of the sandbox)
and was deprecated.
All the best,

Implementing a renderer for any *recent* version of html is going to be more
work though... :-)
ahh, deep joy - you have filled my future with such fuuun.
yes i was really looking forward to adding HTML5 style features, by
investigating paul bonser's pybrowser work: he's done a back-end
capable of supporting W3C DOM TR1,2 and 3.
that's step 1: the renderer itself... yeah... 2D canvas particularly
springs to mind...
