Python 2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> tot=0
>>> L=1
>>> L1=3
>>> tot = tot + exec("L%s" % L)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    tot = tot + exec("L%s" % L)
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You mean

tot = tot + eval ("L%s" % L)


exec is a statement.
