Re: Newbie question: how to keep a socket listening?

Re: Hardening enviroment by overloading __import__?

Note, of course, that this only makes it trivially more difficult for malicious code to do destructive things: it doesn't even prevent the code from importing any module it likes, it just makes it take a few extra lines of code.
