If you are worrying about shadowing ONLY the standard library - guess what? those names don't change often, and are well known. Don't use those names.
Well known? Okay. No cheating now! Which of these names will shadow something from the standard library, and which don't? code.py cgi.py chunk.py cmd.py cprofile.py gc.py html.py imp.py mailbox.py numbers.py test.py this.py types.py wave.py Every one of these is a reasonably plausible name for a quick throw-away script (maybe a test script as you learn how to use something). How many of them will be problematic? ChrisA
