I'm not sure if your wording is just clumsily and you meant: 

  """
  I think it is a serious design flaw that the standard
  library modules and user defined modules co-exist like
  filthy, naked, flip-flop over white sock wearing hippies
  in same import namespace(sys.modules).
  """
  
If so than i agree whole heartily. However, in the past when
i mentioned that all std-lib modules should have been
hidden behind a homogeneous symbol you were quick to play
Devil's Advocate against me.

Well it was you or the "Angelic One", heck, i can't tell you
two apart most times. It seems as though your both
weakref'ing the same "over-cooked noodle", and that Chris's
stdin is prematurely attached to your stdout! Seriously, you
two need to get a room.
