I was trying to call the builtin function min by using
getattr(__builtins__,'min')
This works at the interpretter prompt
However when I called it inside a module that was imported by another
module
it fails and gives an attribute error
__builtins__ (note the final 's') is an implementation detail. You want
the __builtin__ (no 's') module, renamed 'builtin' in Python 3.x
py> import __builtin__
py> builtin_min = __builtin__.min
py> builtin_min([8,2,5])

See http://docs.python.org/library/__builtin__.html
Note: using getattr with a literal name is not so useful. Better to use
dot notation.
