Python is strongly typed, but it is not statically typed. Statically typed is what you're after.

Python is strongly typed. You mean static typing.

Python is, and has always been, a strongly typed language.

Do you mean "statically typed"?

Python is strongly typed, just not static.

Actually, Python is a strongly typed language. What you mean in your comment is a statically typed language, which it's not.

Python is strongly typed. Maybe you are confusing strong vs static typing.

Python is strongly typed, don't confuse static and strong typing.

filleduchaos | karma 2293 | avg karma 2.3 · | 2020-02-28 18:22:49+00:00

Yes, obviously, Python isn't statically typed. I fail to see how this demonstrates a lack of strong typing though.

Python is strongly typed, insofar as the term has a meaningful definition at all.

You meant "give me a statically typed language". Which may not actually be what you want, since statically typed languages can be, and some historically have been considered, weakly typed (C, for example).

Python is strongly-typed. With its built-in type annotation syntax and a checker like mypy or pyright, it is statically-typed, too.

takeda | karma 6128 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2019-09-19 03:51:50+00:00

You probably meant statically typed, python already is strongly typed.

teddyh | karma 23902 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2021-12-10 12:18:03

Python is strongly typed, not weakly typed. What you are talking about is static typing, which Python is not; Python is dynamically typed. Please do not confuse the two concepts.

A technical note: Python is (relatively) strongly typed, but it is not statically typed.

And the lack of static typing is a fundamental feature of the language. I doubt very much whether a static type system will ever be implemented in Python proper.

Python is strongly typed. It's also dynamically typed. They are not contradictory between each other.

vhcr | karma 341 | avg karma 2.69 · | 2023-04-12 07:35:12

Python is strongly typed though.

Python is strongly typed. If your entire career has been Python, you will have a lot of experience with it.

Static typing, maybe not so much.
