Not quite sandboxing Python, but I've seen people use my Lupa [1] library
for this. They're writing all their code in Python, and then let users
embed their own Lua code into it to script their API. The Lua runtime is
apparently quite good at sandboxing, and it's really small, just some 600KB
or so. Lupa then lets you easily control the access to your Python code at
a whitelist level by intercepting all Python attribute lookups.

It doesn't add much to your application to embed Lua (or even LuaJIT) in
Python, and it gives users a nicely object oriented language to call and
orchestrate your Python objects.
