Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately I never import sre.

I import re, then rexec in the main program, 
then in the restricted code I add the 
os and os.path modules, and the resticted code
then import the glob modules and calls its glob
method.

So should I set sys.hexversion *before* my re and rexec
imports in the main program, or add the sys module and
a fake hexversion value in the restricted code ?

thanks in advance
