For global scope you could use globals().__setitem__('x', 5) but it's
not possible in local scope because the dict returned by locals() in
function is not where the local variables are really stored.
So the preferred way is to use :
In [39]: exec "x=5"
which the same as :
In [40]: eval(compile('x=5', '<string>', 'exec'))
