Whenever the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-rexec" title="rexec: Basic restricted execution framework. (deprecated)"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">rexec</span></tt></a> module searches for a module (even a built-in one) or reads a module’s code, it doesn’t actually go out to the file system itself.

(Actually, the <a class="reference internal" href="#rexec.RExec" title="rexec.RExec"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RExec</span></tt></a> object doesn’t make these calls — they are made by a module loader object that’s part of the <a class="reference internal" href="#rexec.RExec" title="rexec.RExec"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RExec</span></tt></a> object.

For instance, we could substitute an <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RHooks</span></tt> object that passes all filesystem requests to a file server elsewhere, via some RPC mechanism such as ILU. Grail’s applet loader uses this to support importing applets from a URL for a directory.</p> <p>If <em>verbose</em> is true, additional debugging output may be sent to standard output.</p> </dd></dl> <p>It is important to be aware that code running in a restricted environment can still call the <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.exit" title="sys.exit"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.exit()</span></tt></a> function.

In cases where security is at stake, it may be preferable to write simple code which is sometimes overly restrictive, instead of more general code that is also more complex and may harbor a subtle security hole.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sphinxsidebar"> <div class="sphinxsidebarwrapper"> <h3><a href="../contents.html">Table Of Contents</a></h3> <ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#">29.1. <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rexec</span></tt> — Restricted execution framework</a><ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#rexec-objects">29.1.1.
