What is an alternative to execfile in Python 3?

Question

It seems they canceled in Python 3 all the easy ways to quickly load a script by removing execfile().

Is there an obvious alternative I'm missing?

Answer 1

According to the documentation, instead of

execfile("./filename") 

Use

exec(open("./filename").read())
