[Jython-bugs] [issue1294] exec() does not work when namespace is passed

[Fabio Z. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Fabio Zadrozny <fa...@gm...>:

The version is actually 2.5b3 (couldn't find it there).

The code below shows the error. exec() fails with:

TypeError: exec: argument 1 must be string, code or file object

But note that the if the namespace is not passed (globals and locals) it
works. 

I've marked it as critical because this seems like a real blocker
(cannot make a debugger work properly without it, as any expressions
won't work)


import sys
import unittest

class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    def testExec(self):
        frame = sys._getframe()
        exec('print self.__class__', {}, frame.f_locals)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
