[Jython-users] exec and globals

[Frank C. <fc...@pu...>]

If anyone will confirm this is the best way to use exec and globals, I would
certain appreciate your feedback.

The goal is to have the Jython equivalent of server-side include files where
one script calls another and can share variables. In an experiment I created
two files:

exec_example.py

def makethecall:
    i=100
    exec open("included.py").read()
    print "j=", j
makethecall()


included.py

j=101
print "i=", i

By running exec_example I see:

i=100
j=101

Is this the best way to have scripts calling other scripts and returning
results?
