https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-P

https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/pull/4537/files#diff-cb42fd26146ec61cb2242243494a9f314667a9a39153ad17e37465ff5a8a8000R536

  • add sys.flags.safe_path add sys.flags and sys.int_info #4568
  • add command line parameter -P to set flag
  • use environment variable PYTHONSAFEPATH to set flag
  • actual implementation of safe_path

I didn't check the actual implementation, but other 3 tasks are easy tasks

    @youknowone - just FYI, tasks 2 and 3 are also completed - https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/blob/main/src/settings.rs#L245-L249

    After diving into the code, I don't see where it is implemented, but it seems like 4 is also completed after testing it out.

    Could you please close this issue for future people like me?

    Thanks

    The originally reported problem no longer reproduces on current main. Closing per the recheck in #8982.
