I would avoid the use of generic names for variables but rather use
dict1 or aDict etc. If you want to avoid a name collision without
the use of naming conventions you could rename __builtins__:
bi = __builtins__
del __builtins__
Then you can define what you like but you will have to reference dict,
list etc. as bi.dict, bi.list, ...
Except that you should never access __builtins__, and the
module is actually called __builtin__. See this thread
for what should probably be considered the canonical
