Securing a custom build of the CPython interpreter would probably be
significantly easier than designing a 'secure mode' that ran on top of the
standard version. The former might even be a stepping stone towards the latter.
Still not easy though (the main task would be to prevent Python code from
accessing the OS, while still allowing module imports to work).
Cheers,
Nick.
