There's not yet a Python implementation of Starlark (which, like Bazel, is a fork of Skylark FWIU)?
All that have tried to sandbox Python with Python have failed. E.g. RestrictedPython and RPython

No, there is no pure-Python Starlark. So far there are only Python bindings for the Go and the Rust implementation: https://github.com/laurentlb/awesome-starlark#getting-starte.... I thought about porting the Go implementation to Python. Doing it as a subgoal for porting recur seemed a little like scope creep. (Tokei says there are 16792 SLOC in the latest d4d7611 commit of starlark-go and 899 in recur 67b38c1.)
I believe Starlark was renamed Skylark, even internally. Bazel is a build system that uses Starlark as a configuration language, not a fork of Starlark.
Bazel is an open source rewrite of Blaze (which introduced Skylark)
Less a rewrite, more a variant: a majority of the source is common to both.
