But catching type mismatches with dynamic typing doesn't
seem pointless for Python. There's nothing static about
the proposals being made here that I can see.
Why not
class Color:
red = (255, 0, 0)
green = (0, 255, 0)
blue = (0, 0, 255)
If all you want is a bunch of named constants, that's fine.
But the facilities being discussed here are designed to give
you other things as well, such as
c = Color.red
print(c)
printing "red" rather than "(255, 0, 0)".
