Python-dev is for the development of the Python core language, the CPython runtime, and libraries. Your sandbox, despite using and requiring deep knowledge of the runtime, is not developing those things. If you had a series of requests for the language or runtime that would make your job easier, then your thread would be on-topic.

My initial goal was to put pysandbox directly into CPython when it would be considered safe and stable.

The PEP 416 (frozendict) was a first step in this direction, but the PEP was rejected.

I now gave up on sandboxing Python. I just would like to warn other core developers that trying to put a sandbox in Python is not a good idea :-)
