[Python-Dev] exec documentation

[Glenn Linderman]

in 2.6 and before execfile is listed in builtin functions, and is not 
marked deprecated, and exec is in the simple statements, and is not 
marked deprecated.

in 3.0 execfile is not listed in builtin functions, exec is.  exec is 
not listed in simple statements.


I guess this is an intended 3.0 change, but is this the proper way to 
document it?


What I was really trying to figure out is how I could specify the 
encoding of a file to be execfile'd in 2.6... but didn't find it so 
thought I'd try 3.0 to see if it would assume UTF-8, but had forgotten 
execfile doesn't exist in 3.0 (if I knew it; I'm new here).
