A Python sandbox would be useful, but the hosting provider's excuse
for not allowing you to use mod_python is completely bogus. All the necessary security tools for that situation are provided by the platform in the form of process and user separation.
Not sure this is strictly true: mod_python gets loaded into the server's address space and gives the ability to add any type of handler. While Apache might well be able to respawn failed subprocesses, it's not something that most hosting providers would like to have to do all the time for many hosted sites.
