Don't use the names of built-in functions as variables.

Or something even conceptually simpler than having to muck about with
looking up different namespaces:
class Data:
def __init__(self, obj):
self.value = obj
def __str__(self):
return self.value
temp = Data(5)
L = [temp]
print L
will give 5.
temp.value = 6
print L
will now give 6.
