There was a thread on python-dev recently about sandboxing code by restricting the variables provided. A lot of people broke it (you can check the archives for "break this code" or something similar).
In any case, if you deny people the ability to use __import__, then any functions that call import will fail. Whether that's a good practice is questionable but that's the state of affairs. And I still haven't figured out the difference between the script and interpreter versions of my import subprocess. :( -- ~noufal _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
