   As the docs say, None is what execfile returns.  My guess
is that if anything goes wrong in executing the script file,
then an exception will be raised, so (untested code):

        try:
            execfile('scr.py')
        except Exception, details:
            print 'execfile failed:', details

   In specific cases you can be more precise with the
exception(s) you trap, and the action(s) you take, of course.


        Good Luck.      Mel.
