I think that it would be useful if IDLE spit out a warning
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Maybe it's an idea
that IDLE gives a warning when you're trying to save a file with a
name that would shadow an existing module?
You might want to add that idea here:
https://bugs.python.org/issue25514
This is a different issue than IDLE avoiding clashes. I opened
https://bugs.python.org/issue25522
A warning requires a list to check against. I just suggested on
python-ideas the addition of a 'module' module, similar to the 'keyword'
module, that would have the needed lists and functions.
Guido pointed me to sys.builtin_module_names, which is needed for the
issue above.
