New submission from Guido van Rossum: In http://bugs.python.org/issue1774369 I mentioned that I wanted to rename __builtins__ to __rootns__. Though right now I think something longer and less cryptic might be better. The reason is to avoid for once and for all the confusion between __builtin__, which is a module, and __builtins__, a feature mainly used by sandboxing to pass the set of builtins to be used via the global namespace. This lay at the heart of the referenced bug.
I'm still in favor of this but haven't had the time to investigate how much work it would be. ---------- messages: 57842 nosy: gvanrossum priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Rename __builtins__ to __root_namespace__? versions: Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1498> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
