There are runtime semantics that enforce types. > From your link: > When the types detected or declared are strictly enforced by the > language's semantics, the language is strongly-typed. > when the semantics of the language allows for inconsistencies between > the compile-time type and the run-time type, the language is > weakly-typed. Yes, the compile-time type of 3 is integer, and the runtime type of 3 is also integer. There is no inconsistency. Compare that with C, which lets you cast 3 to a pointer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
