By the way, this behavior makes sense since the 'exec' statement
COMPILES the string sent to it before executing it. It must be
syntactically correct..and complete. So I doubt this will be 'fixed'..if
it's even possible.

Is there a reason you're not using 'interpreter.execfile( infile )'
instead ?
