You said: "I'm new to Python", and then : "if I *want* strong static type-checking, why shouldn't I be able to get it?" You obviously don't know Python enough to understand why static typechecking doesn't belong to Python. Trying to explain would be a waste of time, because you have to experiment it in real-life situation to fully understand. So to put things briefly, Python with static typechecking would not be Python anymore - it would be another language. Which implies that if you want static typechecking, you'll have to use another language one way or another. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
