open vs. open

Sure, lots of people have done that.  Overall, I suppose this
particular conflict is good thing, because you'll run into it
early enough that there's a chance you'll learn from it.  The
potential for such conflicts is limitless, if you think of it
in terms of "from x import *" for any combination of more than
one x, but this concrete example makes that more real for people
who aren't impressed by potential problems.
