Seven is an extension to the compatibility layer six.
It contains utilities that ease migration from Python 2
to Python 3, but aren't present in the six library.

    """exec_file compiles and runs a file with globals and locals.

    exec_file does not exactly mimic all the edge cases in Python 2's
    execfile function. Rather, it does only what is necessary to execute
    control files in autotest and prevent compiler-wide settings like
    'from __future__ import ...' from spilling into control files that
    have not yet been made Python 3-compatible.

    Arguments:
        filename:   path to a file
        globals_:    dictionary of globals
        locals_:     dictionary of locals
