Actually you could, using ast.parse to get an AST and then walk
it looking for things you don't want to allow.

You could also play around with giving them a custom set of
builtins and restricting what they can import. Just be aware
that such things are not foolproof, and a sufficiently smart
student could find ways around them. (Although if they know
that much they probably deserve to pass the course anyway!)
