Python sandbox for public servers

[sumpfralle]

The server mode allows execution of arbitrary python code, thus it could be harmful for providers of public PyCAM servers. A kind of sandbox would be helpful. Maybe one of the following projects could be useful:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/apipkg
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RestrictedPython/
• http://code.google.com/intl/de/appengine/docs/python/runtime.html

Are public servers a good idea at all?

[sumpfralle]

Probably not. I just wanted to conserve the thought.

There is a PyPy version that offers sandboxing: https://pypy.org/download.html#other-versions https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads/pypy-1.8-sandbox-linux64.tar.bz2
