This is an interesting thread, here is my 1c :-) Unless one is feeling chronologically challenged, it is always the __last__ layer looked in as Christian Heimes described, so maybe __lastns__ or __latter__, or even __zns__.
Perhaps __final__ or __finalns__ sounds too similar to "finally:". How about __inbuilt__ :-? I don't like __finish__, __close__, __terminal__, __integral__ too ambiguous. Poll summary so far (but without vote tally, and sorry if I missed any), including the ones above. Rejected: __builtin__ GvR "I want to keep both concepts" __session__ GvR "too many unrelated meanings" __python__ GvR "But ... *everything* becomes a Python thingie." Humorous: __guts__ __pythongastric__ __the_dictionary_where_all_the_builtins_are_now__ __telescope__ __uberglobal__ With and without umlaut __zns__ Cryptic / confusing: __close__ __final__ __finalns__ __finish__ __global__ __inbuilt__ __integral__ __rootns__ __terminal__ The others: __basic__ __builtin_namespace__ __core__ __default_root__ __fixtures__ __implicit__ __inject_builtins__ __lang__ __last__ __lastns__ __latter__ __outer__ __py__ __pythoncore__ __pythonroot__ __root__ This one is popular but has beed described as "too short" __root_dict__ __rootdict__ __root_globals__ __rootnames__ __root_namespace__ __syswide__ __top__ __universal__ +0.2 from me I hope this helps to have them all in one list. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
