Yes I did see that it is possible to redefine the type of a variable.

And that right there is one of the key aspects of Python: there are no variables, only objects, and objects' types cannot be changed. objects can be labeled with names, but the names are more like sticky notes, and can be peeled off and stuck on some other object.
