I don't really agree with that, trying to use an undeclared object/variable/whatever : Python 3.7.7 (default, Aug 22 2020, 17:07:43) [GCC 7.4.0] on netbsd9 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print(name) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'name' is not defined >>> You can say it's not the "declaration" the issue, it's the "definition", that's just a matter of vocabulary and it does not answer the question. In many non declarative language, if I do print($var), it just prints and undefined value with returning an error. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
