No I don't. Lua has less functionality because it was designed to have a small embedding footprint. Python is much bigger because it was mostly designed to run as a standalone interpreter. That has nothing to do with security. You haven't shown the slightest connection between Lua's lower functionality and its higher sandbox security, because there is none. The lower functionality is because of a totally independent reason, namely the desire to make the interpreter smaller. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
