Hi guys,

when developing my dedent tool, I stumbled over the following
behavior:

In dedent, I had the line

    from __future__ import print_function

Later in the script, I do some

    exec(the_script)

and I was surprised:
The exec() script inherited the __future__ statement!
It behaved like the future statement were implicitly there.

Is that a bug or a feature?

You can try the effect by "pip install dedent" and adding
the future statement there.

I'd like to know if this is a bug (and I think so)
