<p>According to the dictionary, a bastion is “a fortified area or position”, or
“something that is considered a stronghold.” It’s a suitable name for this
module, which provides a way to forbid access to certain attributes of an
object. It must always be used with the <a class="reference internal" href="rexec.html#module-rexec" title="rexec: Basic restricted execution framework. (deprecated)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rexec</span></code></a> module, in order to allow
restricted-mode programs access to certain safe attributes of an object, while
denying access to other, unsafe attributes.</p>

<dd><p>Protect the object <em>object</em>, returning a bastion for the object. Any attempt to
access one of the object’s attributes will have to be approved by the <em>filter</em>
function; if the access is denied an <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.AttributeError" title="exceptions.AttributeError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">AttributeError</span></code></a> exception will be
raised.</p>
<p>If present, <em>filter</em> must be a function that accepts a string containing an
attribute name, and returns true if access to that attribute will be permitted;
if <em>filter</em> returns false, the access is denied. The default filter denies
access to any function beginning with an underscore (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'_'</span></code>). The bastion’s
string representation will be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><Bastion</span> <span class="pre">for</span> <span class="pre">name></span></code> if a value for <em>name</em> is
provided; otherwise, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">repr(object)</span></code> will be used.</p>

code in <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bastion.py</span></code> for the details. Overriding the default
