You mean like a java sandbox?  There used to be one in Python (the
rexec/Bastion modules) but they were removed for security reasons
(i.e. they weren't secure and there was no way to fix the holes).
There seems to currently be no really reliable way to do what you're
asking.  Your best bet may be either a small JVM, or a very limited
special purpose language that you could implement in Python.
