[Tutor] trusted?

[Neal McBurnett]

I have no idea what the gnumed discussion is about, but this reminds
me of the lack of a "taint" mechanism in Python, the way it exists in
Perl.  Read this Python Feature Request for details and latest
proposals:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=500698&group_id=5470&atid=355470

Writing safe CGI scripts is very important and very hard.  This could
make a difference.

Cheers,
