: How's that?  Variables need not be declared with a type and need not
: hold variables of the same type throughout their lifetime, but Python is
: most assuredly typed, and is in fact relatively strongly typed.

Indeed. Please bear with me and stress the second sentence above. 

I wanted to write "it's typed in a Smalltalkish sense" but then
thought it wasn't appropriate. "Dynamically typed" suits you? I know there
was consensus around here on how to call Python's type features, but can't
remember right now.

Anyway thanks for your reaction. My phrasing was indeed ambiguous.
