Well, "this" is a newsgroup posting written by you. Nested functions in
Python are callable objects that exist as attributes of other callable

Well, the string that gets passed is more or less a function
definition, which is then called with exec. I don't see why you'd need
to write a string out with the function definition and then call it.
You could just write the function.
As for the nested functions, I had been presuming that it was
