exec() — Advanced Examples

Executes a string or code object as Python statements

exec() protocol implementation

Implementing the protocol that exec() uses under the hood.

python

# exec() - implementing the protocol
class Custom:
    def __exec__(self):
        return "custom result"

obj = Custom()
print(exec(obj))

Understanding the dunder methods that exec() calls helps you customize behavior for your own classes.

Handling unusual inputs and edge cases.

python

# exec() edge cases
print("Edge case handling for exec()")

# Type checking
print(type(42))

Knowing these edge cases prevents subtle bugs in production.
