You are just supposed to read the file and exec the code yourself. 2to3 currently replaces this:
execfile("somefile.py", global_vars, local_vars)
With this:
with open("somefile.py") as f:
code = compile(f.read(), "somefile.py", 'exec')
exec(code, global_vars, local_vars)
(The compile call isn't strictly needed, but it associates the filename with the code object, making debugging a little easier).

It's probably a messy way to do it but Python doens't have variable variables like PHP and it's the best I could come up with on short notice. If I have an import statement inside the file that I pass to ...
