It would (apparently) help Victor to fix issues in his pysandbox project. I don't know if a secure Python sandbox is an important enough concept to warrant core changes to make it possible.

If a secure Python sandbox had been available last year, we would probably be still using Python at work for end-user scripting, instead of having had to switch to Javascript. At least, that would be the case if this sandbox is what I think it is (we embed a scripting language in our C++ main engine, and allow end users to customize and partly drive our code). But features enabling that needn't be core; I wouldn't object to having to get some third-party add-ons to make it all work.
