The above statement is exactly why one would want to eval the code inside a separate interpreter. Not just for security, but to prevent user code from stomping all over the application code by creating or destroying global resources. Is it possible to create a nested interpreter like you can do in some other languages? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
