Ha, I come full circle. This was the exact project that brought me to this list (for better or for worse!), as we were trying to sandbox Python code inside C++. Same sort of thing - we wanted free access to whatever it could do in memory, but no FS or OS access (and limits on total memory and CPU usage, though they're less critical as I can use OS APIs to do that). Conclusion: Either utterly impossible, or so hard as to be not worth the hassle. We switched to JavaScript, though I do maintain some regret that we couldn't use the better language. It's probably too late for that project to switch back now (and I've left the company), but as a matter of intellectual curiosity, I'm still somewhat interested.
