You started saying that you could implement polymorphism with early 
binding and gave the C++ as an exemple. Funny, isn't it ?

Who said so ? I don't see nothing truly new in Python, *except* for the 
fact that you get (IMHO) best of most languages, and a clear and simple 
syntax with it. Now if you're in for speed, leave out C++ and go for C 
and assembly. The C++ OOP stuff is not without overhead.

Remember that this was about : can a language with late binding be used 
for a large project ?
