Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006-181: A vulnerability in python's repr() function was discovered by Benjamin C. Wiley Sittler. It was found that the function did not properly handle UTF-32/UCS-4 strings, so an application that used repr() on certin untrusted data could possibly be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the python application.
