[issue5524] execfile() removed from Python3

Ok... but there is the newline issue: (self quote) "exec() doesn't support 
newline different than \n, see issue #4628".

And open_python() can be used for other usages than execfile() ;-)

Note: tokenize.open_python() is maybe not the best module and/or function 
name.
