In Python 2, exec is a keyword, so you can't do that. In Python 3,
exec is simply a built-in function, so it'd work fine. Technically you
can get around the problem in 2.x with setattr/getattr, but that may
not really be all that useful...
def _exec(*args): return _wbt_daemon.dm_cli_exec(*args)
...
setattr(dm_cli,"exec",dm_cli._exec)
Tested on 2.6 for Windows (I really ought to get myself a 2.7, maybe
when 2.7.4 gets released I'll grab it).
