runs the client code by evaling each line.
Example input Code:
parser = ArgumentParser(description=program_license, formatter_class=RawDescriptionHelpFormatter)
parser.add_argument("-r", "--recursive", dest="recurse", action="store_true", help="recurse into subfolders [default: %(default)s]")
parser.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", dest="verbose", action="count", help="set verbosity level [default: %(default)s]")
Method extracts the instance name (e.g. parser) from the first line,
and instantiates it in a local variable by evaling the rest of the lines.
Each subsequent line updates the local variable in turn.

'injects' the client code with a known variable name so that it

For example, if the client code was:
parser = ArgumentParser(descrip...)
parser.add_argument("-r", "--re...)
parser.add_argument("-v", "--ve...)
The variable "parser" would be overwritten with a custom name. e.g.
my_parser = ArgumentParser(descrip...)
