Naming conflict with built-in function

by

Step one: rebind the list to a different name

lst = list

Step two: delete the list variable

del list

Step three: don’t do it again

I prefer this over __builtins__.list simply because it saves the typing, and you aren’t still left with a variable named list. However, it is always best to avoid the problem altogether. When writing production code, always remember not to have variables named the same as built in functions.
