Re: Friendly-traceback: useful tool for those teaching Python

Me: If I ask for type(__builtins__) I get a list of all the things 
dicts can do, not the contents of the module.

Of course I should have said dir(__builtins__) above 
(not type).

Anyway, I was glad to clear this up.  I’m guessing 
the use of both __builtin__ and __builtins__ is not
Spyder’s original idea, but characteristic of the 
I-Python console more generally.

Indeed, my conda environment lets me ask for
ipython directly at the bash shell and sure enough,
it’s the same story.

What about IDLE?  Right, only __builtins__, no 
__builtin__.
