Monty: A Python Interpreter Written in Rust for AI Safety 🦀🐍

What happens when you let AI agents run Python code? Historically: chaos. But Monty aims to fix that — it's a Python interpreter written in Rust, built specifically for safe AI execution. 🦀

Pydantic (the data validation company) created Monty to solve a specific problem: AI agents need to run code, but you can't trust them with a full Python environment. Monty sandboxes everything, limits resource usage, and prevents the AI from doing anything destructive.

The safety features:

• 🔒 Sandboxed execution (can't access your files)
• ⏱️ Time limits (infinite loops get killed)
• 🚫 No network access (can't phone home)
• 📊 Memory limits (can't crash the system)

This matters because AI agents that can code are becoming mainstream. OpenAI's Codex, Claude's artifacts, GitHub Copilot workspace — they all need to run code safely. Monty provides the sandbox.

For Gen Z developers, this is your future stack: AI writes code → Monty runs it safely → You review the results. The loop is getting tighter, and tools like Monty make it actually viable.
