I think it means that names, not objects, are weakly typed. So you can have: a = 4 a = 'hello'
and there is no problem. The name 'a' doesn't have any type associated with it. This contrasts with strongly typed language like C where you declare the type of the name (variable) and the compiler objects at compile time if you attempt to assign a value of a different type. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
