Python does not really have the concept "variable".
What appears to be a variable is in fact only the binding of an
object to a name. If you assign something to a variable,
all you do is binding a different object to the name.
Man, do I hate this idea that Python has no variables. It has variables
(names associated with values, and the values can change over the course
of the program), they just don't work the same as C or Fortran
variables. In fact, they work exactly the same as Javascript or Ruby
variables.
Python's variables are names bound to values.
