/s/builtin/standard library/ Quick! Name all the standard library modules, stat! In Python 3.3, there are something like 410 modules in the standard library. There's a reasonable chance that you've shadowed at least one but never noticed. Yet. I think it is a serious design flaw that the standard library and user code co-exist in a single namespace. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
