Unexpected error when compilation fails for function loaded with execfile #2456

(Python 2.7, Numba 0.33, OS X)

If I have a file called ex.py with some code that will fail to run in python mode:

import numpy as np
import numba

@numba.jit  # didn't set nopython mode, so can fall back to object mode!
def example(values, threshold):
    result = np.zeros_like(values)
    for i in range(values.shape):  # This should be values.shape[0]!
        if np.abs(values[i]) >= threshold:
            result[i] = values[i]
    return result

And then I run the Numba function using execfile from a file called load_ex.py:

import np

global_dict = {}
execfile('ex.py', global_dict)
in_array = np.array([0,1,2])

print global_dict['example'](in_array, 1)

I get the unexpected exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "load_ex.py", line 9, in <module>
    print global_dict['example'](in_array, 1)
NameError: global name 'np' is not defined

rather than the exception I would have expected:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ex.py", line 15, in <module>
    print example(in_array, 1)
TypeError: range() integer end argument expected, got tuple.

If I force nopython mode, I get the compiler failure that I also would have expected, so this is a low priority issue. It just seems pretty weird...
