Experimental - This project is still in development, and not ready for the prime time.

A minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI.

Monty avoids the cost, latency, complexity and general faff of using full container based sandbox for running LLM generated code.

Instead, it let's you safely run Python code written by an LLM embedded in your agent, with startup times measured in single digit microseconds not hundreds of milliseconds.

What Monty can do:

Run a reasonable subset of Python code - enough for your agent to express what it wants to do

Completely block access to the host environment: filesystem, env variables and network access are all implemented via external function calls the developer can control

Call functions on the host - only functions you give it access to
