I'm not an expert on this, but there are other "jails" than chroot  
that are actually meant for security that one might want to look  
into. BSD has some jail stuff if I recall correctly.

I don't think PyPy would work, given the ability to use compiled code  
from SAGE. (SAGE might not even run under PyPy due to all the Cython  
code).

It should be noted that one requires a local privilege escalation to  
break out of chroot (though those are certainly not unheard of).
