STeVe,
may I ask you for more details on this?
Any disadvantages while using exec()
in this context?
I try to avoid using any of the
__xxxx__() functions if possible
(considering this a good
programming style).
Avoiding exec (which is a statement, not a function) is much more
important. Since it executes arbitrary code, you can get unpredictable
results from it.
>>> z = "sys; print 'w00t'"
>>> exec "import " + z
w00t
Consider the case where z = "shutil; shutil.rmtree('/')"
