Perhaps but the fact is that I need to execute code from some files in the
filesystem and I need to have a common stack for them
2 questions came to my mind:
1.- How can I execute code from files in the filesystem? (I choose exec for
that)
That's what import is for. Or __import__() if you need more flexibility.
2.- If exec is my only option: how can I use a common stack for them?
Thanks

Hi!
I'm trying to use exec in a recursive way but I have a problem
When I read the manual I understand that the globals and the locals are
passed by reference but if I try to use it in a recursive way the new
values
added in a step are not passed to the next one
Could someone point me how to do that?
Thanks

Post some sample code, and show what doesn't work; maybe you'll get some
help that way.
I'll point out just one thing: you cannot add new local variables at
runtime. locals() should be used to inspect, not to modify.
See the help text:
"The contents of this dictionary should not be modified; changes may not
affect the values of local variables used by the interpreter"
I have no idea if exec() can be safely called recursively. Most people
successfully avoid calling it at all.
