Oh, and don't forget - newstyle classes keep weak references to all their subclasses, which means for example that every time you subclass 'dict', you're modifying the "immutable" 'dict' class. So, unless you recreate all the classes in each sandbox, you're back to needing locking. And if you recreate everything in each sandbox, well, I think you've just reinvented "processes". :)

After all, there's a reason Bruce Eckel's recent post about multi-processing attracted a fair amount of interest.

Cheers, Nick.
