Python had a sandbox module, but is was discarded because of security problems. If you want it working on MacOS, you may also have a look at Tcl, which has a long tradition on MacOS and it comes with a very good implemented and fully customizable sandbox. For a starting point, if Tcl sandbox meets your requirements, have a look here: Safe Tcl Overview: http://www.tcl.tk/software/plugin/safetcl.html Docs about the specific Tcl commands, to create safe interpreters: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/interp.htm (See in the lower third of the page at "Safe Interpreters") http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/safe.htm Regards Stephan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
