Also consider having virtual modules, where objects in it may have come from different *other* locations. A virtual module would need a way to keep track of that. (I'm not sure this is a good idea.)
It's too late, code already does that. This is precisely the use case I am trying to fix (objects like functools.partial that deliberately lie in their __module__ attribute), so that this can be done *right* (i.e. without having to choose which use cases to support and which ones to break).
Yes, __builtins__ is a virtual module.
No, it's a real module, just like all the others.
__builtin__ (2.x) / builtins (3.x) is; __builtins__ you (Ron) should just forget about. Georg
