STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:

The getfile feature is used to display the source code of a Python module.

For example, on the difflib documentation, there a link to difflib.py. If you 
click, a webpage displays the content of the file.

I suggest to remove the whole feature. I don't think that it's so useful, 
compared to the vulnerability.
