[IPython-dev] Security

[Suminda Dharmasena]

Hi,

What is the level of security and sand boxing built in notebook so that the
Python scripts write cannot evoke any dangerous applications. E.g. use
kernel or system functions, write or read to disk, make network
connections, etc.

If notebook is to be used on a web facing front end project accessible to
everyone this will need some thinking about.
