+1 for `dangerous_load`. If it was implemented this way, rather than `load` and `safe_load`, I doubt we would have seen vulnerabilities like the one in both tastypie and piston, the two leading API libraries for Django.

Whilst python might seem safer than the state in Ruby/Rails, it also has its history of vulnerabilities.
