Zope's not the only ones doing a restricted python implementation. It 
might be interesting to see what's out there.

Then there's the AccessControl-module which has a C-implementation; it 
would need to be ported as well.

(Asking to the room), is it out of reach to simply migrate to 
zope.security (which already runs on Python 2.5)? Obviously there are 
differences between the two to the extent that some features simply 
can't be implemented.
