Right. That was and is Python's execution model.
Note that when you exec code, including a function call, the locals 
passed is the local context in which the code is executed. It is not the 
locals of any particular function called by the exec-ed code.

If you exec a function that is a closure, the closure or non-local 
objects come with the function. A 'stack of dicts' has nothing to do 
with how function and nested funcs operate.
