SyntaxError: invalid syntax while assigning the value to a variable while the code runs fine if it r-CodePudding

I am running this query on python terminal and it executes fine.

>>> exec(open("GeneratePassword.py").read())
HkdgtRf

However when I try to assign that value to a variable I am getting this error.

>>> xx = exec(open("GeneratePassword.py").read())
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    xx = exec(open("GeneratePassword.py").read())
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Please help.

CodePudding user response：

exec in Python 2 is a statement, not a function. It doesn't return anything. The right way to do what you're doing is to make it a Python module, so you can do:

import GeneratePassword
xx = GeneratePassword.generate()
