#3 is easy to do a simple, naive implementation. I don't know what your needs are. If you just want to say "exit this script if it ran more than N seconds" you can just modify the eval loop (*). But I suspect there are many more features that would be required and it's not so simple.

Yeah. I think of rexec as a way to safely eval expressions / exec statements provided by users without the risk of DOSing the machine executing them. And your solution doesn't handle things like 10000000000000000000**10000000000000000000.
