How do non-keyword builtins bite?
You can accidentally "re-define" or mask them (if you don't use a tool that warns for that).
Given how long it has been since the original post, I think it's unfair of you to cut this much context. What Denis Spir originally wrote was, "On the contrary: non-keyword builtins bite painfully!" and my rejoinder was written because of the extreme language. Your issue is a valid one, but I have seen no cases where I would call it "painful" contrasted with the pain of being unable to use a keyword anywhere as a name or attribute. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Typing is cheap.
