I don't like declaring types everywhere, i hate it. I prefer duck typed languages, HOWEVER, in order for duck typing to work consistently you must have checks and balances that the programmer can apply when he feels necessary. My "is_valid" built in will bridge the gap. We won't be forced to declare types, but we should ALWAYS add "type checks" to our "truth tests" unless we want to create subtle bugs. "is_valid" IS the answer! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
