No, Sturla is correct. Python has strongly-typed values and dynamically- typed variables, which means that you get type errors at run-time, not compile-time.

Cython is best considered a superset of Python, with a pure-Python compatibility mode. It can run standard Python code. -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
