I just found that eval can be used to evaluate a code object compiled
in the 'exec' mode:
>>> eval(compile('n = 42', '', 'exec'))
>>> n
42
Interesting. But I suppose that the mode is really just a compilation
option and there's not really much distinction as far as eval is
concerned once they've been compiled.
