- 4.2. Naming and binding
- =======================
- 4.2.3. Builtins and restricted execution
- ----------------------------------------
- **CPython implementation detail:** Users should not touch
- "__builtins__"; it is strictly an implementation detail. Users
- wanting to override values in the builtins namespace should "import"
- the "builtins" module and modify its attributes appropriately.
- The builtins namespace associated with the execution of a code block
- is actually found by looking up the name "__builtins__" in its global
- namespace; this should be a dictionary or a module (in the latter case
- the module's dictionary is used). By default, when in the "__main__"
- module, "__builtins__" is the built-in module "builtins"; when in any
- other module, "__builtins__" is an alias for the dictionary of the
- "builtins" module itself.
