I know, sorry I wasn't clear. The situation I was thinking of is one where you're updating an application written before 2.6 but you're unaware that the application redefines e.g. next. I don't think that's too far-fetched.

Assuming that the code has been broken up into reasonable sized modules, this isn't usually that big a deal. You can tackle the "Python 2.6 cleanness" problem on a module by module basis. A global next variable/function in one module isn't going to shadow the builtin in other modules.
