Comment (by isis):

 Since a Python interpreter is already shipped with the Windows PT bundles,
 perhaps, if sandboxing TBB and any spawned PTs is desirable, the
 [http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/sandbox.html sandbox]
 [http://pypy.org/features.html#sandboxing translation] of pypy (with the
 tracing JIT) looks interesting. Not to mention much faster. My packaged,
 compiled (for 64-bit linux) `pypy-c-sandbox` with the tracing JIT comes to
 12MB, if this is comparable to the size of the currently included Python
 interpreter, perhaps the speed and security benefits are worth further
 looking into.
