What do you mean "doesn't crash, try / except around execfile"? Are you 
*expecting* it to crash?

Are you catching an error and suppressing it? What happens if you remove 
the try...except? Are you sure that execfile is actually being called? 
How do you know?

Are you running your code inside an IDE? If so, it's possible the IDE is 
doing something funny.
