Steven: "You should use `__builtin__` in Python 2 and `builtins` in Python 3." I presume this is for import statements.
ppperry: Titles should fit in the box, so they fit in search listing results.
I am thinking of something like "Since Python inserts '__builtins__' into the exec global namespace when not present and IDLE uses exec, '__builtins__' is defined at the start of each statement or file even when it otherwise would not be."
