It would also be nice to help developers looking for a sandbox for their application. 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.

There are several websites running submitted Python code (and in some cases, many other languages). ProjectEuler CodeAcademy (I think they use someone else's code box) CheckIO.org - python only other coding challenge sites I suspect they use sandboxed processes but have not seen anyone talk about what they are doing. At edX, we use CodeJail to apply OS-level sandboxing to untrusted Python code: https://github.com/edx/codejail

A couple of years ago at PyCon AU, Tim Dawborn went over the sandboxing approach used for the National Computer Science School infrastructure: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y-WPPdhTKBU&feature=plpp&p=PLpKCScKXUAmerE_uUsImVlPsmhLaYQuQy
