Bounty for Breaking RestrictedPython?
So maybe we could crowd source the RestrictedPython problem? If we could create a pool of money from various people/organizations. And offer someone 50$ per scenario where they can break Restricted Python? Then it turns into sort of a game. Not only do you get "bragging rights" but some money (or something from Amazon). -- Alan Runyan Enfold Systems, Inc. http://www.enfoldsystems.com/ phone: +1.713.942.2377x111 fax: +1.832.201.8856

I actually tried this at EPC this year: I was offering a beer for anyone who could break out of the test environment and a bottle of champagne for anyone who did so and provided a test and patch that fixed the problem. The problem I set turned out to be unfair though, because of the stinking pile that RestrictedPython is :-( (ie: How python scripts use it doesn't have much to do with the documented APIs *sigh) The challenge did, however, attract some interest. If framed correctly, this makes a great lightning talk and the 24hr focus in a conference setting means people do tend to get invovled. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
