web.py is a great framework, but this is bad coding for sure.
I guess you need to do some hack like,
oldbuiltins=__builtins__
__builtins__ = {}
Then before calling code that breaks,
__builtins__ = oldbuiltins
<call breaking code here>
But this is damn ugly and if it were me, I would investigate other
options whch doesn't force me to put __builtins__ to {} in my
code. I don't know details enough to advise you on this
specifically in this case.
