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?
