with open(filename) as f: exec f

These both assume that you want to run the script in the same process as 
the interpreter and within the module containing the statement. This is 
rare. People usually either want to import into a separate module or run 
in a separate process. For the latter, use the subprocess module and the 
same command line that you would use in a console.
