IIRC, pprint has a saferepr() and string.Template has safesubstitute() and pydoc has a safe import.

pprint.saferepr Ok, this one's my fault as well. Probably should just be named repr.

string.Template.safe_substitute Agree on this as well.

pydoc.safeimport Not documented, so I don't really care what it's called.

Never new there was so much danger in the standard library :-)

You should have known this, Raymond! It's software.
