Well, IMHO let could help the famous misspelled var problem: myvar = 5 [...] myvvar = 7 # Whops! but to work, if let is used somewhere in the scope, all the variables declared in the scope must be declared with let: let myvar = 5 myvvar = 7 # SyntaxError But I'm really unsure that this is what you want. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/WZ3LWBIXYKT33IFSFPVQVTERANOK74AH/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
