Indeed - it's an april's fool joke !-)

And BTW, no need to scream, we hear you pretty well.

The concept of "type" greatly differs between static typing and dynamic 
typing. FWIW, it also somewhat differs between declarative static type 
systems (C/C++/Java/etc) and inference-based static type systems (OCaml, 
Haskell etc).

Anyway, Python is dynamically typed (FWIW, it's dynamic almost 
everywhere), and this is probably not going to change in a foreseeable 
future. So I guess you'd better learn to use dynamic typing instead of 
trying to write C++ in Python - or, if you just can't get used to 
dynamic typing, use another language.
