Python Sandbox

43 New Member
Hi,
I'm using python 2.5 on Vista and writing a Genetic Program in Python. I was wondering is there a way to run a script from within another one but in sandbox environment? If there is can it automatically kill the script if it runs too long? I know you can use the exec() function but it can override variables in the current script and could get stuck in an infinite loop. I'm wondering because sometimes the program being tested gets in an infinite loop like below and I need the program executing it to continue running.

  1. i = 10
  2. while i <= 10:
  3.     print i
  4.     i -= 1
  5.

Hi All, I'd like to use Python-2.3.4 on OSF1 V4.0, but have trouble installing. With a plain "./configure; make" build, I cannot import socket. If I uncomment the socketmodule in Modules/Setup, the build fails. Using gcc 3.4.2. Had no problem on OSF1 V5.1, Linux and Sun. Have not been able to find reference to a similar problem in comp.lang.python.

What would it take to create a Firefox extension that enables Python as a script language in the browser - just like Javascript? Is it at all possible? Are the hundred good reasons not to bother?

Hi List! I was thinking about secure Python code execution, and I'd really appreciate some comments from those who know Python better than I do. I was thinking that maybe it could be possible to load and run untrusted Python code, simply by loading it in a module with a modified version of __builtins__. Without any reachable function that do unsafe operations, code running from there shouldn't be able to do evil things.

I have a large Python 2.5 program that I want my users to be able to "extend" using a Python script. However, I want their script to run in a sandbox within the overall program so that they only have access to the rest of the program via a single simple interface. Note that this is not meant to be a real anti-hacker type security sandbox - just "help them to avoid shooting themselves in the foot" type security. So I created a single...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
