I was thinking that you could avoid this by adding some type inference
to Python and/or reducing everything to two basic types (strings and
ints), but the end result would require a lot of work and not look much
like Python.
For a PIC, I'm not even sure I'd want to use C++. Then again, I'm not
much of a fan of BASIC stamp modules, either, so...
