My apologies. I was thinking that the scoping for the 2nd and 3rd
parameters to the eval call had changed somehow and thus the code was
irrelevant to the example.

What I am trying to do is simple eval a string with python formatting
operations within and return the result. The code string is dynamic.
Basically: 

eval( "'The value of t is %(t)s' % t", self.private_dict, locals())

where t is in self.private_dict. The questions comes because this code
worked in python v1.5 but does not work in v 1.5.2 and I was curious if
there had been any changes to the scoping or to the eval/exec calls
themselves.

Sorry for the confusion.
