[Python-Dev] Restricted interpreter

In fileobject.c:

/* rexec.py can't stop a user from getting the file() constructor --
   all they have to do is get *any* file object f, and then do
   type(f).  Here we prevent them from doing damage with it. */
if (PyEval_GetRestricted()) {

It looks like I was going to reinvent the wheel. Is this being used in some
project you know about?

Btw, what's the point of FileWrapper, having in mind that it stores
'f' as an accessible attribute?

>>> r.s_exec("""import sys; print sys.stdout.f""")
<open file '<stdout>', mode 'w' at 0x100eec30>


Thank you!
