Message: [QUOTE="Terry Reedy, post: 1730896"] Module level functions are local to the module unless imported by another module. Nested functions are local to the function they are nested within unless explicitly returned. Methods are local to classes and subclasses. Lambda expressions are very local unless somehow passed around. I am not sure which best meets your intention. Yes, named objects, including functions can (locally) shadow (override) builtins. It is considered a bad habit/practice unless done intentionally with a functional reason. Terry J. Reedy [/QUOTE]
