Hmm.  I don't think the second bug mentioned there applies to us (if our
use of rexec allows the Python code to write any file anywhere, it's
already lost its right to trusted status IMHO).  But the first one looks
like a killer:

According to that discussion, this bug does exist in Python 1.5 :-(
... so Hannu's argument rests on a false premise anyway.
