I agree, the second the Python interpretor say's NO! you cant do that or i will wrap your knuckles! is the day i leave Python forever. I hear C programmers complain all the time about Python saying; "Well, I like in "C" that variable types must be declared because this keeps me from making mistakes later" -- hog wash! Just learn to think in a dynamic way and you will never have any problems. If you need a hand holding language i guess Python is not for you. And don't forget, you can learn a lot from your mistakes. They are so brainwashed by this mumbo-jumbo, i see them do this all the time... int_count = 0 float_cost = 1.25 str_name = "Bob" They can't think in a dynamic way because momma "C" has done it for them for too long.
