Yes, it's a low-level compiler for Python code that replaces certain 
operations such as getattr with respective guards. You'll have to 
provide such guards, though. "Script (Python)" is based on 
Shared.DC.Scripts which implements such guards that do checks based on 
AccessControl.

It looks like zope.security.untrustedpython integrates RestrictedPython 
with zope.security.

Yup, it's bundled and since Zope 2 and 3 were in different trees, we had 
a small fork that was reunited in that checkin.

No idea what you need...
