The subinterpreters module does not emit any audit events yet. It's possible to create a subinterpreter and run arbitrary code through run_string().

We should also improve documentation of sys.addaudithook() and explain what 'current interpreter' actually means. I guess most users don't realize the consequences for subinterpreters.

$ ./python auditsub.py
('os.system', (b'echo main interpreter',))
main interpreter
you got pwned
[heimes@seneca cpython]$ cat au
auditsub.py     autom4te.cache/ 
[heimes@seneca cpython]$ cat auditsub.py 
import sys
import _xxsubinterpreters

def hook(*args):
    print(args)

sys.addaudithook(hook)

import os
os.system('echo main interpreter')

sub = _xxsubinterpreters.create()
_xxsubinterpreters.run_string(sub, "import os; os.system('echo you got pwned')", None)

$ ./python auditsub.py 
('os.system', (b'echo main interpreter',))
main interpreter
you got pwned
