I wish I could restrict their syntax too, though, but I fear that's not possible. For instance, it would be very useful if I could remove loops.
Actually you could, using ast.parse to get an AST and then walk it looking for things you don't want to allow. You could also play around with giving them a custom set of builtins and restricting what they can import. Just be aware that such things are not foolproof, and a sufficiently smart student could find ways around them.
