Landlock is a security mod for the Linux kernel that allows programs to restrict their own network/filesystem axx (and other capabilities), at startup, so that if a malicious actor runs code in their context, the blast radius is contained. https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/landlock.html

There are various python interfaces to Landlock, but they do not seem well maintained. https://github.com/Edward-Knight/landlock https://github.com/SebastienWae/py-landlock
