Is it possible to view/change/test against the variables in a python script that's being run from another script?

I have the following code as part of a 'whole application' test framework (as opposed to, say, Unit testing):

    with open("test.py") as f:
        #Open, read, compile, execute the code
        code = compile(f.read(), "test.py", 'exec')
        exec(code)

Is there any way for me, the programmer in the file calling that code, to access the variables within that code?
