Suppose you are sequentially processing a list with a routine that expects every item to be of a certain type. Something in the list that doesn't conform to the type could give you unexpected results, maybe crash your application. In python, as far as I know, there is nothing built into the language to keep any type of item from being included in a list - or any such structure. To me, that seems like a potentially vulnerability. Especially since variables in python do not have to be explicitly assigned - another variable that points to the same thing, could change the data that a variable points to. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
