Please tell me if you know sandbox projects for Python so I can redirect users of pysandbox to a safer solution. I already know PyPy sandbox.

Sandboxing is hard enough (see also the many JVM vulnerabilities) that the only ones I even remotely trust are the platform level mechanisms that form the foundation of the various PaaS services, including SELinux and Linux containers.

Cross platform? In process? Even Lua is hard to secure in that situation, and it has a much smaller attack surface than CPython or Java.
