Quoth m_vddungen at yahoo.com (Marcel van den Dungen):
...
| Dynamic refers to the typing of variables. In Python variables get a
| type dynamically when assigned a value.

I imagine they may actually have been looking at some version of
this: http://www.fact-index.com/d/dy/dynamic_programming_language.html
which goes beyond static vs. dynamic typing in the sense they
ordinarily seem to be used.  I'm not sure they really put their
finger on the main problem in the way of a Python compiler, but
whatever.
