If Python were statically typed, you might be correct. A _value_ in python has a type, not a variable. so, you can do: some_list = [] for a in None, True, 1, 1.0, 3.1j, 'text', u'text': some_list.append(a) print some_list and you will see something like: [None, True, 1, 1.0, 3.1000000000000001j, 'text', u'text'] That is, a has the type of its current value. any kind of object can be stored in any variable. --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
