| | | | | | | | | | SF bug 533625 (Armin Rigo). rexec: potential security hole If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode. Fix this by not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not allowed).
