I'm not sure how much resistance there would be in the community to disallowing reassignment of builtin names though. I don't think I've ever reassigned a builtin name so I think it would be worth it.
I'm not sure quite what you mean here,
What I mean by reassigning builtins is: import __builtin__ __builtin__.int = something
but I had plenty of variables called `file' pre-2.2 (and probably still do).
That's fine and there will be no warning. Neil
