Oh yeah. The safety of a module isnt at all enhanced by having any
control over what is in it. Its really a predictable and secure
langauge that lets the user redefine every data item and function in
any module at a whim. Its a fucking benefit.
Only morons write bad code.. only morons try to hack into your python
embedding server by mucking with the namespace of modules on the
fly. Or is hacking your system a "very special purpose"?

Ah yes... Its such a great thing that he wants to be able to get rid
of it. Aaron, your request can be my example. You're obscure enough.
Just WHAT is the "great advantage" part here, Mr. Provide Examples?
