Martin Panter added the comment: I think names should be in __all__ even if they shadow builtins, at least in a new feature release. There is plenty of precedent, e.g. asyncio.TimeoutError; reprlib.repr(); threading.enumerate(). Modules with open() in __all__ include aifc, bz2, codecs, dbm, dbm.dumb, gzip, lzma, os, shelve, wave and webbrowser. Plus, pydoc ignores things excluded from __all__.
