Comment (by jdemeyer):
I don't mind changing the warning message to something more severe.
Something like
{{{RuntimeWarning: not adding directory '%s' to sys.path since the write
permissions are too loose. Untrusted users could put files in this
directory which might then be imported by your Python code. As a general
precaution from similar exploits, you should not execute Python code from
this directory.}}}
