Seems to me it would be better to rename the module to a non-double-underscore name. There's really nothing magical about the module itself, only the name used by global variable lookups. So just call the module 'builtins', and then you can do
import builtins # get the module with no magic happening import mystuff as builtins # change my builtin namespace import builtins as builtins # restore default builtin namespace
