My personal motivation is not to unilaterally prevent access to globals, but to close a simpler gap in the audit system that affects a currently deployed high performance production system (which is not trying to be a sandbox). I am also already using a C audit hook for my purposes. If you are referencing vstinner's first message, please remember to read their follow up https://bugs.python.org/msg384988 where they seem to have changed their mind in support of the patch. The audit attributes I'm chasing here are fairly small in scope, and overwhelmingly only used in debug code. I believe adding them is in the spirit of the original PEP. I have also done extensive testing and CPython C and stdlib code analysis as part of this effort. If you agree with the original PEP authors that __code__ and sys._getframe() are worth auditing, then I believe this is a natural extension of that concept. My patch improves upon the PEP by increasing the audit coverage to every way I can see of getting a frame and code object from basic CPython types. This is a simple patch with clear performance metrics. I don't see any reason to expand the scope of this in the future unless CPython adds another basic object type along the same lines (e.g. a new async function type, a new traceback type, or a new frame type). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42800> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
