exec()

compiles and evaluates a statement or set of statements you passed through in string form
"Dangerous on virtual machine" (?)

exec("print('so this works like eval.')")

>>> exec('x = 2') # adds x to the global namespace {: id="adds-x-to-the-global-namespace" }
>>> exec('if x == 2: print("x is two")')
x is two
