when running bessctl, an SyntaxError raised

[xnhp0320]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./bessctl", line 9, in
import commands
File "/home/hepeng/bess/bessctl/commands.py", line 507
exec(code in new_globals, locals())
SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function '_do_run_file' it contains a nested function with free variables

-        exec(code, new_globals)
+        exec code in new_globals

Thanks.

Fixed the issue by not using the nested function. For compatibility with Python 3, I'll keep the exec as a function call (not a statement) for now...
