Bug Description
`__builtins__` is an implementation detail of CPython. It takes on inconsistent values at various times. The use in `common.py` happens to work on recent version of CPython, but it doesn't work on PyPy. The only thing you should ever do, when you're doing this sort of thing, is "import __builtin__; __builtin__.foo".
However, line 40 of common.py (in release 2.3):
dict = __builtins_
would be better written simply as:
dict = dict
