The relevant part is in the bit that you deleted. Let me quote it for you
again:
"locals hiding built-ins is okay"
-- Guido van Rossum, inventor and BDFL of Python
[deadpan]
Sorry for such a long quote, and I realise it's quite tricky to
interpret, so let me summarise for anyone still having difficulty:
GvR is saying that it's okay to use the names of built-in functions or
types as the names of local variables, even if that causes the built-in
to be inaccessible within that function.
