What's so odd about this? "class int" is an assignment to "int", i.e.
what you're doing here is basically:
int = str
int(3

It's not wrong as such. It is allowed to define your own class that
subclasses a builtin class, and it's allowed to shadow buil
In case the example given at the start of the thread wasn't
interesting enough, it also works in the other direction:
>>> class str(int): pass
>>> str('2')
2 #<- an integer!!!
