Python Windows Sandbox library. Create a new Windows Sandbox machine, control it with a simple RPyC interface.
A good usage for this library would be to easily run sandboxed tests in a controlled envionment.
PyWinSandbox can be installed using pip:
$ python3 -m pip install -U pywinsandboxIf you want to run the latest version of the code, you can install from git:
$ python3 -m pip install -U git+git://github.com/karkason/pywinsandbox.gitNote that the Windows Sandbox should be enabled in your system in order to use PyWinSandbox. See the following Microsoft article on how to do that.
import winsandbox
sandbox = winsandbox.new_sandbox()
sandbox.rpyc.modules.subprocess.run('explorer .')
# Create a sandbox with a mapped directory.
# Directories are mapped under desktop.
sandbox = winsandbox.new_sandbox(folder_mappers=[winsandbox.FolderMapper(r'C:\users\public')])
tree = sandbox.rpyc.modules.subprocess.check_output(r'cmd /c tree %userprofile%\Desktop\public')
# Create an offline sandbox with a logon script.
sandbox = winsandbox.new_sandbox(networking=False, logon_script="explorer .")Also a console script is available:
# wsb / winsandbox are aliases
# Create an interactive sandbox session. Spawns an IPython shell.
wsb -i
# Spawn an "offline" Windows Sandbox instance, with a command line.
wsb -s "explorer C:\windows\system32"
