| Hi,
| 
| I've a python script using somecalls to the abs() built-in function.
| 
| Now, I have to import a module named 'abs' too...

Surprising to find a module with the same name as
a built-in function! Simplest thing is to rename
the module on import:

import abs as absmodule
...
absmodule.blah (x, y)

if abs (x-y) == z:
  blah
