""" The safety of RestrictedPython has been validated in a somewhat formal process with Python 2.4. Ranjith is working to validate it with Python 2.5. He is first working to discover all changes between Python 2.4 and 2.5 that might have affected the safety of a RestrictedPython sandbox. Any changes to the AST, builtin functions, methods of builtin types, etc., need to be evaluated for safety.

So, in general, he is looking for detailed lists of changes between Python 2.4 and 2.5--more than the "What's New" doc. """ Then I would recommend he look at Misc/NEWS. If he needs more information, specific questions will bring the best results.

Ultimately, he can do a diff of the corresponding C files, and read the checkin messages that hopefully explain some of the changes.
