If you only want to secure a few objects, then mxProxy can help you with this: it allows access management at C level on a per-method basis and also via callbacks...

Zope3 has a similar proxy feature. But I think that the safety of proxies still relies on there not being backdoors, and the new-style class code has added too many of those.

More on this thread later, when I have more bandwidth to deal with it.
