: def execpyc(filename,globals=None,locals=None):

:     """ Execute a byte compiled file filename in globals, locals 
:     """
:     import marshal
:     f = open(filename,'rb')
:     f.read(8) # skip header (id check omitted)
:     code = marshal.load(f)
:     exec code in globals,locals
:  

Is there anything wrong with the standard function?
  execfile(filename, [globals[, locals]])
