Hi !
Sorry, but :
The statement exec does not have impact on the style.
Like with exefile or import (and other), the style is determined by the
contents. Rather judge "exec" (or import, or execfile) than the contents,
it is an error of causality.

Instead of starting with:

you could use something like:
