It's not wrong as such. It is allowed to define your own class that subclasses a builtin class, and it's allowed to shadow builtin names. So while this is (obviously) bad practice, it's not wrong. For a simpler example: Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:44:40) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
