What possible relevance could this have to anything?  The average person
on the street isn't a programmer, probably isn't inclined to ever be a
programmer, and may well even be computer illiterate.  What their
impressions might be on the subject are totally irrelevant.

Strong typing exists for a reason, and Python is strongly typed.  Your
objections seem to ignore this fact.  Your objects are arbitrary, rather
inconsistent (as several people have pointed out througout this thread),
and don't make any sense for language with strong typing.  Python isn't
Perl, it's Python.
