Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
What I meant is that one cannot use __builtin__ or builtins until one has done
the import, which is why people tend not to bother and instead do things like
ppperry was doing.
To the extent that tkinter is limited to CPython, so is IDLE. Still, the only
reference to __builtins__ is in
F:\Python\dev\36\lib\idlelib\autocomplete.py: 188: (fetch completions)
namespace.update(__main__.__builtins__.__dict__)
I don't know why not just use __builtins__.__dict__, but this follows
import __main__
namespace = __main__.__dict__.copy()
To be cross-platform, you are saying that this should be on 3.x
import builtins; namespace.update(builtins.__dict__)
