Quentin Peter <qpe...@bluewin.ch> added the comment:

The reason I am asking is that I am working on a debugger. The debugger stops 
on a frame which is inside a function. Let's say the locals is:
locals() == {"a": 1}
I now want to define a closure with exec. I might want to do something like:
exec("def f(): return a", globals(), locals())
But this doesn't work because of the issue I describe.I would expect f() to 
look for a in the locals().

Even more surprising is that if I use the second argument of exec, the code in 
the above comment starts to fail.
