This sounds great! I just recently wanted to pass a namespace to exec, but
it refuses to accept anything but a dictionary for a local name space.
What I really want to do is pass an object as the local namespace. And
have the exec() use it complete with it's properties intact. Passing
obj.__dict__ doesn't work in this case.
