i tested your code with the Python-2.2.2 test_builtin.py (found in Python-2.2.2/Lib/test, has some dependencies).
1) your code does not import cleanly (some typos here and there)
2) the tests fail right at 'abs', the first builtin because you don't throw a TypeError if the argument is not a number.
I take it that you didn't seriously intend your code to be used as is.

Nevertheless, it would be nice to have a python implementation of the builtin module that passes its CPython's tests. Also the docstrings should be copied from Python-2.3. This can be done automatically by writing a script and iterating over vars(__import__('__builtin__')) and using the inspect module. I hopefully can do this soon and check it into the upcoming repository. Or somebody else does it before me.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it. I just wanted to get a rough sketch out first
great. sorry if my posting sounded to harsh. holger
