python - REPL - recover callable after redefining it -

i doing work inside python repl , redefined 1 of primitive callable's.

i.e list = [] prevent tuple = list((1,2,3)) working anymore.

aside restarting repl there way 'recover' or reassign list default value?

maybe there import or super class? or forever lost , stuck assigned until restart repl?

you can delete name del list

in [9]: list = []     in [10]: list() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- typeerror                                 traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-10-8b11f83c3293> in <module>() ----> 1 list()  typeerror: 'list' object not callable     in [11]: del list     in [12]: list() out[12]: [] 

or list = builtins.list python3:

in [10]: import builtins in [11]: list = []     in [12]: list() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- typeerror                                 traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-12-8b11f83c3293> in <module>() ----> 1 list()  typeerror: 'list' object not callable     in [13]: list = builtins.list     in [14]: list() out[14]: [] 

for python 2:

in [1]: import __builtin__     in [2]: list = []     in [3]: list() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- typeerror                                 traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-3-8b11f83c3293> in <module>() ----> 1 list()     typeerror: 'list' object not callable   in [4]: list = __builtin__.list   in [5]: list() out[5]: []
