I just posted this recently, but it bears repeating, I think: Python
variables don't have type, only the object the variables refer to have
type.  A strong typing system for variables would mean that each
variable can be restricted to referencing specific types of objects, but
the variable itself will still have no type (other than "reference", of
course).
