Exec calls do not have return values.

If you need to pass an object out of the exec call to the surrounding
context, you can wrap it in an exception and throw it.

class ObjectWrapperException(Exception):
  def __init__(self, obj):
    self.obj = obj
    super().__init__()

code = 'obj = ' + objType + '(self)\nraise ObjectWrapperException(obj)'
try:
    exec(code, None, _locals)
except ObjectWrapperException as e
    obj = e.obj
