execfile return values

[Enrique]

Hello all!
I've a little and no important question:
Suppose 2 scripts

##ex.py###
a=execfile('scr.py')
print "return value: ", a

##scr.py###
print "i'm scr.py"

Executing that, a takes None value.
Is there a way to handle the execution of the script ordered by the execfile
statement??

Another way that def & return in functions.

Thanks

Enrique (Madrid)

As documented in Lib Ref 2.1 Built-in Functions. If you have not read
the execfile doc, please do, or reread. If you have read (or reread),
tell us what part you do not understand.

I do not understand 'handle the execution of'. What you are trying to
accomplish that did not happen?

At a guess, I'd say he wants 'a' to have the contents of stdout ("i'm
scr.py").
