. This looks quite complicated, but there are rumors
that Python 4 might have a »execfile« function, and
one then will be able to write:
execfile( 'myscr.py' )
It's better to not start rumors about fictitious Python versions.
That was an attempt to make a kind of joke.
The background is:
Python 2 has »execfile«, but not Python 3.
Another background is:
We recently had this discussion, where Steve wrote:

The difference is that inventing this particular wheel is almost always
a mistake.
