The exec case corresponds to those two instances, depending on whether the single namespace or dual namespace version is performed.

I don't get the point. exec() passes a locals dictionary, but the compiled code itself isn't expected to use locals() as a way to access (let alone mutate) that dictionary.

Antoine.
