>>> loc = {}
>>> exec("x = 1; y = 2", globals(), loc)
>>> loc
{'y': 2, 'x': 1}
However, this won't work with the code object taken from a function which
uses a different a bytecode (STORE_FAST instead of STORE_NAME):
>>> import dis
>>> def f(): x = 1
...
>>> dis.dis(f)
1 0 LOAD_CONST 1 (1)
3 STORE_FAST 0 (x)
6 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
9 RETURN_VALUE
>>> dis.dis(compile("x=1", "<nofile>", "exec"))
1 0 LOAD_CONST 0 (1)
3 STORE_NAME 0 (x)
6 LOAD_CONST 1 (None)
9 RETURN_VALUE
