I likewise am aware of a project where the availability of sandboxing might be make-or-break for continuing to use Python. In this case the idea would be sandboxing plugins called from a Python main program. I *think* that Victor's project would enable that, but I haven't looked at it closely. --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
