The namespace issue alluded to doesn't exist when using the very
similar approach suggested earlier in this thread by Andrew Durdin --
shown again below in a [very] contrived example illustrating access to
the local namespace:
greeting = "Hello there, "
x = 2
exec {
1: """greeting += 'Tom'""",
2: """greeting += 'Dick'""",
3: """greeting += 'Harry'""",
}.get(x, """greeting += 'Unknown'""")
print greeting
