I am contemplating getting into Python, which is used by engineers I admire - google and Bram Cohen, but was horrified to read
"no variable or argument declarations are necessary." Surely that means that if I misspell a variable name, my program will mysteriously fail to work with no error message. If you don't declare variables, you can inadvertently re-use an variable used in an enclosing context when you don't intend to, or inadvertently reference a new variable (a typo) when you intended to reference an existing variable. What can one do to swiftly detect this type of bug? -- http://www.jim.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
