There is a module called 'types' in python 3:

davies@localhost:~/work/spark$ python3
Python 3.4.1 (v3.4.1:c0e311e010fc, May 18 2014, 00:54:21)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import types
>>> types
<module 'types' from
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/types.py'>

Without renaming, our `types.py` will conflict with it when you run
unittests in pyspark/sql/ .
