GvR likes to rename the builtin to reduce confusing between builtin and builtins. He wanted to start a poll on the new name but apparently he forgot. >From http://bugs.python.org/issue1498 What name do you prefer? I'm +1 with Raymond on root but I'm still open for better suggestions.

I lurk around in this list on gmane and I am a Python user. I just wanted to

add my shade of color :) As builtins provides identifiers present in python language, I would prefer py or lang over root.

Thanks for reading, Suraj
