From past rumblings, I gather that Python is moving towards preventing __builtins__ from being shadowed.
I would like to know what you guys think about going ahead with that idea whenever the -O optimization flag is set.
The behavior of a program under -O should be as similar as possible to normal operation. This would break that for some programs. A per-file pragma directive would work. The downside of a pragma module or keyword would be what people try to add to it later. -jackdied
