exec evaluates statements, and Python statements don't return values. You'd need to pass global/local dicts to it and exchange values via that.

For what you're doing though, eval() might be a more appropriate choice.

Though personally I'd be looking to add a proper AE API, even if only procedural, so that users can't just run arbitrary code. But that's your decision, not mine.
