Okay, I've run into another problem. I've saved the code to a string, so I can call it up when I need it. I want to keep these functions all together, though, so I'm pushing them into a dictionary when I execute it. It seems like when I put it in a dictionary, though, it messes up the scope of the functions contained within. For example: import cPickle def Main(): holder = {} functiontest = "def PickleTest():\n\tprint cPickle" exec functiontest in holder print holder["PickleTest"]() Main() ... produces: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pickletest.py", line 11, in <module> Main() File "pickletest.py", line 9, in Main print holder["PickleTest"]() File "<string>", line 2, in PickleTest NameError: global name 'cPickle' is not defined Is there any way to do this so that the functions have access to the higher scope?
