One kind of problem is that newer Python features were designed without taking rexec into account. It's possible for untrusted code to cause the trusted interpreter to execute its code without restriction using descriptors. It would be really difficult to reconcile new-style classes and rexec. Perhaps a worthwhile project, but probably one accomplished by design a new restriction mechanism that builds on some of the basic mechanism of rexec.
