Man, do I hate this idea that Python has no variables.  It has variables 
(names associated with values, and the values can change over the course 
of the program), they just don't work the same as C or Fortran 
variables. In fact, they work exactly the same as Javascript or Ruby 
variables.

Python's variables are names bound to values.
