[Tutor] executing a string representing python code

[Cecilia Alm]

I know that there are several ways to execute a string which represents a
piece of python code.
Out of curiosity, is it only eval which returns a value? (as below, where
the string corresponds to a defined function).

def addone(val):

...     return val + 1
...

res = eval('addone(10)')

Thanks!
