Hi, "Thinkit",

dunno if it's implemented, yet, but it's not difficult to do. Below I've
put a quick, working draft, replace exec with print to see the code.

The trick is to redirect sys.stdout and use exec.

Things not implemented in the draft:
- using a restricted environment
- handling exceptions gracefully, displaying a traceback

import zlib,base64
exec(zlib.decompress(base64.decodestring("""
