A simple, kind-of "safe" eval ?

• asteval

  3 0 7.0 Python

  minimalistic evaluator of python expression using ast module

But, literals are not good enough very often, and one may want to do "len(foo)+bar[i]" , so I went searching trying to find a good implementation. I dug and found asteval, but this issue I raised breaks it for me, apart from the fact that I try not to rely on too many modules beyond the standard library + it has a bunch of peculiarities that make it not a real drop-in replacement to eval().
