How to define "exec" method on a class object? Get syntax error due to built in command

I am using swig to generate our CLI for TCL and Python. In this CLI, we have a subcommand "exec" that is failing to compile in the python case. There seems to be some built-in python command "exec" which is giving a syntax error in the .py file generated by swig when I try to import it:
def exec(*args): return _wbt_daemon.dm_cli_exec(*args)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I don't really want to change the CLI commands or make them different between languages. Is there any way to define a method called "exec" on a class? It would be executed as obj.exec() so I don't see why it should conflict with the built in "exec" command.
class dm_cli(_object):
__swig_setmethods__ = {}
__setattr__ = lambda self, name, value: _swig_setattr(self, dm_cli, name, value)
__swig_getmethods__ = {}
__getattr__ = lambda self, name: _swig_getattr(self, dm_cli, name)
def __init__(self): raise RuntimeError, "No constructor defined"
...
def exec(*args): return _wbt_daemon.dm_cli_exec(*args)
...
}
