I nearly choked on my coffee when I read the "naming rights" suggestion. :-) Then I started leaning towards __universal__. But then I thought, what if we renamed the __builtin__ module instead to builtins, and left __builtins__ alone? In Python 0.1, __builtin__ *was* called builtin, and I think the reason for renaming it wasn't particularly well thought-out; as a *module*, I'm not sure that it really needs to have such a special name (I don't think it's more special than sys, anyway). There's no motivation in the checkin comment that renamed it (r3527). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
