builtins is in everyone's global namespace, so if it can be mutated, different python programs running in the same sandbox can affect each other.

Ditto sys.modules and os environ, but I guess that those are already addressed.

sys.modules and os.environ are not accessible in pysandbox :-) If you create a rule in the security policy to allow them, you will get read only views.

Example with sys.modules:

sandbox>>> from sys import modules sandbox>>> modules['sys'] TypeError: Unable to proxy a value of type <type 'module'> sandbox>>> modules['sys']=1 SandboxError: Read only object

Builtin module type is blocked because it is unsafe.
