Well, the challenge is to get access to a module. And... it's quite simple :-p
$ ./python
>>> from safelite import FileReader
>>> __builtins__.file
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'file'
>>> reload(__builtins__)
<module '__builtin__' (built-in)>
>>> file('0wn3d', 'w').write('w00t\n')
>>>
$ cat 0wn3d
w00t

Cool. It's a good reason to go to Pycon UK this yeak ;-)
