In C: int x = 10; results in storage being allocated and type and location are fixed for the life of the program.
In Python, x = 10 causes an object '10' to be created but how exactly is 'x' handled? Symbol Table lookup at compile time? Is every 'x' being substituted out of existence? Because type(x) gives 'int' so.. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
