The array module's failure to support the specific type you want has no bearing on whether or not Python is statically typed. The question isn't "does Python provide you with every imaginable homogeneous array type you might ever want?", we already know the answer to that is no. The question is your claim that Python objects aren't strongly typed, and your obvious attempt to avoid answering my challenge is answer enough. If you could meet the challenge, you would have done it. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
