Best way to pickle functions

Okay, I've run into another problem. I've saved the code to a string,
so I can call it up when I need it. I want to keep these functions all
together, though, so I'm pushing them into a dictionary when I execute
it. It seems like when I put it in a dictionary, though, it messes up
the scope of the functions contained within. For example:

	import cPickle
	def Main():
		holder = {}
		functiontest = "def PickleTest():\n\tprint cPickle"
		exec functiontest in holder
		print holder["PickleTest"]()
	Main()

... produces:

	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "pickletest.py", line 11, in <module>
		Main()
	  File "pickletest.py", line 9, in Main
		print holder["PickleTest"]()
	  File "<string>", line 2, in PickleTest
	NameError: global name 'cPickle' is not defined

Is there any way to do this so that the functions have access to the
higher scope?

Thanks.
