Don't use __builtins__ with an "s". That's an implementation of CPython and may not exist in the future, and doesn't exist in other implementations. Instead, you should import __builtin__ with no "s". Confusing? It certainly is, which is why Python 3 renamed __builtin__ to builtins. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
