+1 agreed. this is the simplest approach to start with. Code to restrict: os.fork itself and disallowing the use of preexec_fn on subprocess within subinterpreters. feel free to ignore preexec_fn in subprocess for the time being if desired, we already promise people that it is a bad idea legacy API that we don't want, guaranteed to cause undiagnosable problems and deadlocks at times. :)
