New submission from Neal Norwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
This happens on 2.4 and 3.0, probably all versions:
When running this simple program (save to a file):
print(type(__builtins__))
__import__(__file__.split('/')[-1][:-3])
I get:
<type 'module'>
<type 'dict'>
I would expect the type to be consistent regardless of whether executing
the main module or from the imported module. I haven't looked into why
this is happening or if it makes sense. It was unexpected.
