But anyways this is moot, the bug was only about exec in a class body nested inside a function. Indeed, I just hate seeing execs and it was an interesting mental exercise to try and get rid of the above one ;-) Assuming it breaks no tests, would there be objection to me committing the above change to the Python 3 trunk? That's up to Benjamin. Personally, I live by "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." :-) Anything using an exec is broken by definition ;-)
