Avoiding `exec', how to?

[François Pinard]

Hi, my fellow snakes :-).

I do not like using `exec', and wonder if there is a way to avoid it in:


# Fabriquer une variable globale pour chaque élément de DEFS.
for name, value in defs.__dict__.items():
    if name[0] != '_':
        # J'aimerais bien éviter `exec'...
        exec '%s = %s' % (name, repr(value))
del defs, name, value


The goal here is to initialise one global variable per item in DEFS,
preserving the item name and value in each.
