IPython.core.guarded_eval:eval_node

Extended Summary

Applies evaluation restrictions defined in the context. Currently does not support evaluation of functions with keyword arguments.

Does not evaluate actions that always have side effects:

• class definitions (class sth: ...)

• function definitions (def sth: ...)

• variable assignments (x = 1)

• augmented assignments (x += 1)

• deletions (del x)

Does not evaluate operations which do not return values:

• assertions (assert x)

• pass (pass)

• imports (import x)

• control flow:

  • conditionals (if x:) except for ternary IfExp (a if x else b)

  • loops (for and while)

  • exception handling

The purpose of this function is to guard against unwanted side-effects; it does not give guarantees on protection from malicious code execution.
