Guido: > I'd be happy to make an explicit list of > those builtins that should not be messed with There's a precedent for this in Scheme, which has a notion of "integrable procedures". As for the rest, with static scoping it will be possible to make access to builtins just as efficient as locals, while still allowing them to be rebound, so there's no reason why __builtin__.__dict__.open = foo can't continue to work, if so desired.
