The patch renames __builtins__ to __builtin__ in the C and Python sources and renames builtins to builtin in the C code. Missing: * documentation update * 2to3 fixer |

Thanks! (Though I wish you'd left the C variable names alone, the patch is unnecessarily big this way.) I am also wondering about some semantic endcases; in 2.x, it is *possible* to have __builtin__ and __builtins__ point to different place, and I am going to do some soul-searching to make sure that's not a loss of functionality. No need to update the patch, I just have to think about it some more. |

Personally I prefer to have one and just one way to spell a variable. I'd find it confusing to have __builtin__ (singular form) but a C variable named builtins (plural form). I changed it for aesthetic and consistency reasons. |

I've thought this over very carefully, and I want something different -- I want to keep both concepts, but I want to rename __builtins__ to __rootns__ (i.e. Root namespace), indicating its purpose. This will prevent further confusion while not conflating the two different features. |
