Umm, if you are launching it via exec it is a complely different process,
you need to create a standalone program, and then it will have absolutely
*nothing* to do with the insterpreter of you particular script, you would
have to have the program puts it's results on stdout and then you would
get them from theresult of the exec call.

It isn't that hard to register it as a command so it can be called
directly from your script, at which point the command itself gets
the interp as a parm.
