What do you mean by "ugly renames?" How many times in using Python did you have to look at .__next__() or .func_name ?

I have been using Python full time for the last 7 years and I very rarely have to call either of those function.

Can you explain that as well? What do you mean by alternatives of doing things? Like say you want to read a file and you might want to use a wider variety of options when opening the file handle or say you want to parse JSON and you'd like standard library to have more parsers available?
