eval or execute, is this the (most) correct way ?

The best solution is not to re-invent the wheel: "import code" is the way 
to emulate Python's interactive interpreter. Try running "python -m code" 
at a regular shell (not the Python shell, your operating system's shell).

Doing a search of the file code.py, I don't find the string "eval" at 
all. My guess is that your approach is probably not the best way.
