Not in the sense that javascript can be sandboxed.  Some of the
developers are looking at restricted execution again, but it isn't a
feature you can rely on in the current releases.

You can still sandbox a Python program in the same way you'd sandbox a
C program, but those methods aren't really appropriate for in-process
plugins.
