play python¶

pytest-play plugin with restricted Python expressions and assertions and it is based on the RestrictedPython package.

RestrictedPython is a tool that helps to define a subset of the Python language which allows to provide a program input into a trusted environment. RestrictedPython is not a sandbox system or a secured environment, but it helps to define a trusted environment and execute untrusted code inside of it.
