Then use your operating system's capabilities for restricted execution.
Alternatively, look at the code Oren Tirosh posted a few days ago
to show how it's fairly easy to break this type of restrictions.

Importing is your *last* problem. 
(For starters, you want to make sure you properly disable open()
and file() and execfile(), right? And trust all builtin modules to
be fairly nice...and trust the Python coders to make sure no
untrusted paths exist...)
