Hi guys,
Is this the list of options?

1. Work with the python team to implement the desired security features 
into the python trunk.
2. Create a "secure" python fork and implement the desired security 
features into it.
3. Maintain a trusted/certified/signed repository of scripts and warn 
users when loading untrusted scripts.
4. Dump python and use something else.
5. Stick with the status quo.

(1 or 2) and/or 3 make the most sense to me.
3 by itself seems the least amount of work and seems totally acceptable.
Not that I'll be contributing anything other than my opinion. ;)
Cheers!
