Here's a surprisingly difficult question: I'm looking for an implementation of a simple expression language in Python that can do bits of arithmetic and basic string operations (eg concatenetion) against some variables I pass to it... but is safe against untrusted input - and operates with limits on CPU and memory usage
I'm not looking for a full sandboxed Python (though that would be nice) - I just want to be able to do "a + b * c" with untrusted input
Any good options I might have missed?
