Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
I agree that it is confusing; in short: a bare exec() does not play well with
closures;
This is a consequence of the python execution model, and is unlikely to change.
Here, the class 'foo' is stored in the function's local variables.
But the execution of the body of the 'bar' class searches names in its local
scope (the
class body) and the global scope (the module level), and misses the function's
locals...
I strongly suggest to avoid pure exec() statements; always specify a global
and/or a
local dictionary.
In your case, the following works:
def doExec(text):
d = {} # or: d = dict(globals())
exec text in d
print d.keys()
