pysandbox is based on safelite.py, project written by tav one year ago (search tav in python-dev archive, February 2009). I tested RestrictedPython, but the approach is different (rewrite bytecode) and the project is not maintained since 3 or 4 years (only minor updates on the documentation or the copyright header).

Not that it matters much, but RestrictedPython [1] is pretty well maintained for a seasoned library.

That doesn't mean it's a particular good solution to the problem, just that it works for the use-case it was written for and is still in widespread use as part of Zope / Plone.
