Oh, I forgot to mention another vulnerability: you block access to
attributes by replacing getattr and by analyzing the AST. Ok, but one
more time, it's not enough. If you get access to obj.__dict__, you
will likely get access to any attribute using obj_dict[attr] instead
of obj.attr.

I wrote pysandbox because I liked Tav's idea of *removing* sensitive
dictionary keys of sensitive types like functions, frames and code
objects. Again, it was not enough.
