I believe it has been requested before, but I'm too lazy now to search for prior discussion. The request is sane, but is also incomplete: there is no syntax suggested for the actual declarations of local variables, and no discussion whether this is meant to apply to local variables only, or also to global variables and object attributes. I think there is a fairly low chance that such a request will be considered. It's a big change (implementation-wise, and documentation-wise), and likely controversial. So one would have to write a PEP first (see PEP 1 for details). Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
