PyJail 0.1.1

A Python module for sandboxing code execution.

PyJail

PyJail is a Python module designed to provide a secure environment for executing untrusted code. PyJail is available on PyPI.

pip install PyJail

To execute a function without access to your system, call it through PyJail as shown below.

from pyjail import Jail

with Jail() as jail:
    result = jail.execute(untrusted_func, *func_args, **func_kwargs)

The Jail class constructor has the optional parameters path=os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "jail") and clear_before_create=True. The path parameter specifies the directory where the jail will be created (note that this is a transient directory that will be deleted when the Jail object is destroyed) and the clear_before_create parameter specifies whether the jail directory should be cleared before creation (if it already exists).

[!NOTE] You must run your python script as root to create a jail.
