Re: __builtins__ wreidness

[Laszlo Zsolt Nagy]

__builtins__ (plural form) is a CPython implementation detail.
if you want to access the __builtin__ module, import it as usual:
   import __builtin__
   f = __builtin__.open(...)
if you're interested in CPython implementation details, study the CPython
source code.

Ok, I agree. I was an idiot. :-) Probably programmers should not use 
__builtins__ at all.
It is still interesting that the same magic identifier is bound to 
different things. :-)
