According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/437857/6083 `2to3` replaces that with this, which ensures the filename is associated with the code for debugging purposes:

```
with open(""somefile.py"") as f:
    code = compile(f.read(), ""somefile.py"", 'exec')
    exec(code, global_vars, local_vars)
```

Implementing it this way would force this kind of plugin to be self-contained in a single file. I think that's OK: if you want a more complex plugin you can use the standard pluggy-powered setuptools mechanism to build it.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",314471743,Load plugins from a `--plugins-dir=plugins/` directory,
