Unfortunately, it is not as easy as that. There are many code parts in
Python that are implemented as functions written in C that might take very
long to compute. I just remember how I could stall a well known wiki engine
written in Python (;-) by entering a too complex regular expression into
the search field (it needed quite a lot seconds per page).

Kind regards,
