[Tutor] Is it possible for a Python Program to send commands to the Python Interpreter?

Looks like the eval() will work great. Thanks so much for telling me.

its ok. That is the kind of usage where they 
are the best solution.

Be very wary of cases where you read stored code 
from a file and execute it however. Its opssible 
a malicious user could add/change the code to do 
something bad. But provided you create the 
executing code yourself you should be fine.
