Ok, it prints "<class 'type'>" for type(str) when str hasn't been defeated.

But still:


#!/usr/bin/python

foo = 0
print(type(int))
print(type(float))
print(type(foo))
print(type(str))
type = 4
print(type(str))


line 9, in <module>
     print(type(str))
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable


How is this /not/ bad?  It seems like a no-go for any programming 
language that isn't designed for the programmer to shoot into thier own 
feet.
