Hi Jurgis,
 
I actually started something similar in 2007: 
http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/santoso/Software.WebLab.html
My biggest hurdle was (as you correctly noticed) the lack of secure sandbox 
environment for Python. Even though my code would allow you to execute 
arbitrary Python code over the net, this is not something you want to do in 
untrusted environment.
 
I think the Sage project (http://www.sagemath.org/) is doing something quite 
similar, although in a much more complex way. I'm not familar enough with Sage 
to comment about its security, but I guess it must be ok since they have online 
demo.
 
Hope that helps
