        ----------

        local_ns, module
          Working local namespace (a dict) and module (a module or similar
          object). If given as None, they are automatically taken from the scope
          where the shell was called, so that program variables become visible.

        stack_depth : int
          How many levels in the stack to go to looking for namespaces (when
          local_ns or module is None). This allows an intermediate caller to
          make sure that this function gets the namespace from the intended
          level in the stack. By default (0) it will get its locals and globals
          from the immediate caller.

        compile_flags
          A bit field identifying the __future__ features
          that are enabled, as passed to the builtin :func:`compile` function.
          If given as None, they are automatically taken from the scope where
          the shell was called.
