Hi there, I'm a newby in python (I know a little in programmation) and I have a lot of questions on builtins but my first one is about modules...
I have seen that if I type help() at a prompt, and then 'modules', I'll be given a list of all modules available, thanks to this group.. But I have seen the differences between them and the one in dir(__builtins__). Why are some modules in __builtins__ and others don't ? (UserDict for example) Why dir(__builtins__) gives me "math" but not help(__builtins__) ? What are the differences between __builtins__ and __builtin__ ? (By the way, I have python 2.4) Finally, if I do del(__builtins__), what can I do to repair the "mistake" (as I got an import error __import__ not found if I want to import __builtins__...? That's may be obvious for you, but that's all strange to me and I didn't find answers on the net... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
