[issue28064] String executed inside a function ignores global statements

[Xiang Zhang]

Xiang Zhang added the comment:

Not a bug. Put the global statement inside:

>>> variable = 'test'
>>> def changeVariable():
...     exec("global variable; variable = 'newText'")
... 
>>> changeVariable()
>>> print(variable)
newText
