If you mean getting from a trusted interpreter to an untrusted interpreter -- then how is a resource going to travel between interpreters?

Beats me, but I am always scared of Armin and Samuele. =)

Okay, those two scare me also, but I would still rather not spread FUD. Your proposal contains lots of details about how to address the danger that Python objects can cross from one interpreter to another. Could we instead attack that straight-on and try to find a convincing proof that objects cannot possibly cross the interpreter barrier? If so, it would simplify a bit of your proposal, and make me feel a little less worried.
