[issue991196] An inconsistency with nested scopes

[Jeremy Hylton]

Jeremy Hylton <jeremy at alum.mit.edu> added the comment:

This code behaves as intended.  The module-level execution environment
is different than other environments.  The global scope and local scope
are the same dictionary.  Assignments at the top-level become globals
because of this behavior of the execution environment.  If you want exec
to mimic the top-level environment, you need to pass it a single dictionary.

resolution:  -> wont fix
