You are getting that message because the name "_builtins_" is not defined, as it says. You were probably looking for "__builtins__", with 2 underscores on each end, not just 1. BTW, "__builtins__" is a CPython implementation detail. If you want to play with built-in objects, you should import the __builtin__ (no "s") module and use that. -- Matt Nordhoff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
