I think you should consider to re-define you perception of the purpose
of the python-dev list. Simple feature-requests is not everything.
Instead, this list also touches the general direction where python should
go, and discusses the current hard-to-solve problems.
The sand-boxing feature via rexec, bastion etc. was perceived as a
useful, quite
safe thing, until it was proven to be completely broken (Samuele Pedroni
et. at., 2003
I think). After that, CPython simply removed those features and failed
completely to
provide a better solution.
I appreciate very much that Victor tried his best to fill that old gap.
And after
that breakage happened again, I think it is urgent to have an in-depth
discussion how that
situation should be treated in the future.
