Doesn't work with Python 3 #9

At least on Arch Linux the python executable is the latest version of Python. Apparently PyCall.jl uses the default python executable, and PySide.jl assumes that it is always python2, but it's not.

So when I try to use PySide.jl, I get an error, because execfile has been removed from Python.

Replacing execfile(f, ...) with exec(open(f, 'rb').read(), ...) in the 2 locations that it's used let me run the basic "hello world" example successfully.

Just updated to check for this. Thanks. Let me know if there are other issues.
