Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Ok, I've found it:
« But why is __builtins__ a module in __main__ and a dict elsewhere? Because in *interactive* mode, printing vars() would include __builtins__, which would be rather large. Code that incorrectly assumes it's always one or the other is incorrect and has always been incorrect; the wart was present when this feature first appeared. Since this has never been documented AFAIK, it's probably just been (incorrectly) reverse-engineered and copied around. » http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-March/006170.html :-S _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3462> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
