Edit Question
Title
Body
I am looking into starting a project which involves executing python code that the user enters via a HTML form. I know this can be potentially lethal ( exec ), but I have seen it done successfully in at least one instance . I sent an email off to the developers of the Python Challenge and I was told they are using a solution they came up with themselves, and they only let on that they are using "security features provided by the operating system" and that "the operating system [Linux] provides most of the security you need if you know how to use it." Would anyone know how a safe and secure way to go about doing this? I thought about spawning a new VM for every submission, but that would have way too much overhead and be pert-near impossible to implement efficiently.
