Yikes! My apologies for my alarmed tone. Panic is not a good way to get people to think clearly. I may have to rethink the way that I personally warn people away from eval(). The way that I've been doing it now has bad side effects in terms of sounding like personal criticism. :( That is, the technical content story might be getting overshadowed by the personal criticism story if I'm not careful. I will think about this more. As a brief comment about your program: execfile might be ok. I haven't taken a close look at your program yet. If I have more time, I'll take a closer look, and hopefully others on the mailing list can also contribute. Do make sure you get eyes to look at your program; getting security right is hard, and I think it takes a village to learn how to program well. Good luck to you! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
