A new attempt to secure Python & a challenge. I don't know Python, so
I can't evaluate. Please have a look.

Hey guys,

I've created a challenge on Python-Dev to try and demonstrate the
validity of my function-based approach to
security in Python.

Please see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-February/086401.html
for more info.

Please join in and share your experiences on Python-Dev -- hopefully
to say that you couldn't write to the
filesystem with the given code ;p

I'm attaching safelite.py to this issue for your convenience.

Thank you for your efforts -- it will help to get patch approved by
Python-Dev and we can then enjoy some
really interesting applications on App Engine (and Python in general).
