[Python-Dev] Accessing globals without dict lookup (original) (raw)

Just a few quick questions before go back into lurcking mode:

Will it still be possible to: a) install new builtins in the builtin namespace and have them available in all already loaded modules right away ? b) override builtins (e.g. open()) with my own copies (e.g. to increase security) in a way that makes these new copies override the previous ones in all modules ?

Also, how does the new scheme get along with the restricted execution model ? (I have a feeling that this model needs some auditing since so many new ways of accessing variables and attributes were introduced since the days of 1.5.2)
