Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.2.2 Status: Closed Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Philippe Fremy (pfremy) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: rexec.r_eval() does not work like eval()

Initial Comment: I want to use the eval() function of python as simple ultra-restricted expression evaluator. So, when executing r_eval(), I want to pass a dictionnary of the local and global variables, just like it is possible with eval(). However, r_eval() does not allow it.

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/module-rexec.html reads: "17.1 rexec -- Restricted execution framework"

so it looks like the module does provide a "Restricted execution framework", no ?

Now, I assume that you mean that the module has been marked obsolete in the most recent of python (which I am not using).

Is there any replacement available ?

The rexec module does not provide restricted execution, so you should not be using it in the first place.

Closing this as "won't fix".
