In case you convince yourself that defining this dynamic but empty  
function is really needed, you can avoid exec this way:

   def some_function(...)

     ...
     # instead of exec('def ...' % methodStrName)
     def empty_function(self, *args, **kw): pass
     empty_function.func_name = methodStrName
     ...
     # presumably methodStrName is referred somehow in
     # the remaining code block, or perhaps locals();
     # modify accordingly
