Slice identifiers map to an identical Python identifier. For example, the Slice identifier
Clock becomes the Python identifier
Clock. There is one exception to this rule: if a Slice identifier is the same as a Python keyword or is an identifier reserved by the Ice run time (such as
checkedCast), the corresponding Python identifier is prefixed with an underscore. For example, the Slice identifier
while is mapped as
_while.

The mapping does not modify a Slice identifier that matches the name of a Python built‑in function because it can always be accessed by its fully-qualified name. For example, the built‑in function
hash can also be accessed as
__builtin__.hash.
