Is it web2py template code that you want to execute, or just plain Python? 
If the former, you can use the gluon.template.render function -- 
see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/4r65UNLQTgQ/SxkW2zzsuwwJ. If the 
latter, there is always eval/exec. In either case, be aware of the security 
risk -- if the content comes from users, very bad things can happen (even 
inadvertently rather than maliciously).
