(...) you end up with either a completely unusable python (the python that can't run anything is trivially secure)

Yeah, that's the obvious question: what's the purpose of such very limited Python subset, for example something limited to int with a few operators (+ - * /)?

That's also why I gave up with pysandbox. It became impossible to execute anything more complex than an hello world.

By the way, I noticed that enum.Enum and enum.EnumMeta don't work in your sandbox.
