Not really. Limiting the number of virtual instructions (byte codes) is of no help, since each one can consume unlimited runtime. I think for example that bigint exponentiation is one bytecode, and 9**999999 probably takes several seconds to compute. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
