There are two possible wrong things: 1) On Python 2 the module is called __builtin__: >>> import __builtin__ >>> __builtin__.map <built-in function map> 2) You've imported the name builtins so that it is available as a name in the current global namespace. That does not mean that a subsequent import statement will import from the resulting module object. An import statement never looks at the names in the current namespace to find anything. You can however do import sympy.core.compatbility.builtins as builtins builtins.type Or from sympy.core.compatibility.builtins import type Not sure what you're aiming for but there is a hacky way to do it: sys.modules['builtins'] = builtins -- Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
