This is not a specific Python feature: If you include a header file
in C that redefines fopen(), wou will probably also run into problems.

I would avoid the use of generic names for variables but rather use
dict1 or aDict etc. If you want to avoid a name collision without
the use of naming conventions you could rename __builtins__:

bi = __builtins__
del __builtins__

Then you can define what you like but you will have to reference dict,
list etc. as bi.dict, bi.list, ...

For a fast check simply type e.g.

dict

in the interactive Interpreter. If you get a NameError it is not
built-in. :)
