New submission from Quentin Peter <[email protected]>:
The exec function fails to take locals into account when executing a list
comprehension:
```
Python 3.7.7 (default, Mar 10 2020, 15:43:33)
[Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exec(compile('[my_var for i in range(1)]\n', '<stdin>', 'single'),
>>> {**globals(), "my_var": 0}, None)
[0]
>>> exec(compile('[my_var for i in range(1)]\n', '<stdin>', 'single'),
>>> globals(), {"my_var": 0})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <listcomp>
NameError: name 'my_var' is not defined
>>>
```
