It is "valid" Python 3 and the lack of an effect on the local is correct. From Python 3 on, "exec" is a function and therefore lacks the special magic properties it had in Python 2 that made it possible execute the code "as if it just was written there". In effect, what exec() modifies here is similar to what locals() returns: a mere copy of the local namespace.
