I've now uploaded the code to the Python Package Index: http://www.python.org/pypi/jailtools It's a bit unpolished and anyone wanting to experiment with it should look at the code to see, for example, what each of the test programs do. I do *not* claim that this is a secure solution: it's an experiment where a Python process is started with access only to a set of "approved" modules, whose identity becomes that of a particular user, and whose environment is that of a chroot "jail", with "sandboxed" code only then being executed inside that environment. Anyone looking for something to deploy as a solution should look elsewhere. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
