pydantic-monty investigation
— Reviewing `pydantic-monty` reveals it as a fast, minimal Python interpreter designed for controlled sandboxed execution, primarily useful when transforming data, branching, looping, and interacting with a select set of trusted host tools or a virtual filesystem. The interpreter purposefully omits large portions of CPython’s functionality, with clear boundaries: unsupported features and missing resources generally fail cleanly as structured errors rather than escaping into the host runtime.
