I'm familiar with Brett's work, but it's a mid-term solution, not a short-term one. Ben Laurie did this for Perl with CAPerl (he actually looked at Python first, but was told by the community that there's no interest in the work, apparently), and I'm satisfied by his results, so there's good reason to believe that we'll be able to take and use Brett's work when it's ready. > anything we can do to make untrusted Python code possible also could be > helpful as an introductory environment where children can safely > experiment with little danger of causing problems with their system.
