title: The Python 3.3 equivalent of 'execfile'
body: <p>I need to find out how to open my <em>.py</em> files after writing them in Notepad++. I find the interface more useful than the Python window.</p>
  
  <p>In a tutorial I was following along with the guy uses</p>
  
  <pre><code>execfile(pathway)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but execfile does not work in 3.3.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an equivalent statement in 3.x?</p>
