RE: Sandbox in Lua 5.1

["Francois Retief" <fgretief@...>]

Hello Tomas,

Yes I know about VEnv and our code use the exact same principles. Resulting
in the same issues. 
I also had a look at Rings. But we use C packages in our code which make
Rings unsuitable for our case.

Is there a pure Lua implementation of the 5.1 package functions somewhere?
(require/module/loaders)
The compat-5.1 ones is not 100% the same. I want to substitute the C versions
with pure Lua versions inside the sandbox. 

Cheers
  Francois

 	Hi Francois

 	Have you checked VEnv (http://www.keplerproject.org/venv/)?
It implements a sandbox just like yours (I think :-)  It was developed
for Lua 5.0 (with Compat-5.1) and we stumbled in the same point while
adapting it to Lua 5.1.  We gave up and started the development of Rings
-- which is not the same thing -- but it is still usefull in restricted
cases: when there is no need to load a package written in C.
 	Let me know if you succeed!

 	Good luck,
 		Tomás
