Alternatively, you can simply use the file object to write it to a new module and import it later.

newmod=file('newmodule.py','w')
newmod.write('def add(x,y):\n    return x+y\n')
newmod.close()
import newmodule
print newmodule.add(10,20)

This works for me:

IronPython 1.0.2449 on .NET 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> code = "def add(x, y):\n\treturn x + y\n"
>>> exec code
>>> add(2, 3)
