[Python-Dev] variable name resolution in exec is incorrect (original) (raw)

Another approach to all this might be to generalise the mechanism by which a lookup of the globals falls back to a lookup of builtins.

If this were done recursively, then the "stuff" could be attached to the globals dict, e.g.

stuff['builtins'] = builtins g = dict(builtins = stuff) exec(code, g) del g['builtins']
