numpy shadowing builtin function : what is the fully qualified name for built in function?

I use IPython which opens numpy automatically, as far as I understand.

This redefines the builtin function 'sum' which I'd like to access.

How can I get a hold on it ?

ps : I think I got it : 

import __builtin__ as base

base.sum

from tfm

using --pylab or equivalent import numpy in global namespace (as well as other stuff) you should set import_all to false if you don't want it.
