Althought exec_environment exists I think of it more of workaround
than something that should really be used.
If your my_script.py needs to call a certain function that function
(f) belongs to a model, not a controller. If you put in model you do
not need exec_environment and you can just call it. You can still
expose it in a controller (def f(): return f())/
The other issue many be Auth. You should not call from script a
function that requires login because your script probably does not do
logs in.
