I'd like to dynamically execute multiple lines of indented code from
within a script, but I can't seem to find a suitable function. Exec only
works with unindented code, and execfile only works with files. I
suppose I could write my string to a temporary file and then use
execfile, but that seems like a hack. Is there an easier way? Any help
is appreciated.

Either dedent or trick Python into expecting indented code: s = """
.... print "and I say hello"
.... print "hello, hello"
.... """ exec s
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<string>", line 2
print "and I say hello"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax exec "if 1:\n%s" % s
and I say hello
hello, hello
