All very good notes. I'd just like to follow up with saying that
I wouldn't mind at all if "strict" were added to Python, perhaps
with functionality outside of classes. I'm not at all sure what
the module and function-level strictness would map to in syntax,
but I'm sure there is something not particularly painful to be
had, somewhere.

For example, at the module level, you could have:

module strict

declare i
declare j

s = 2

>>>> AttributeError: blah blah

... noting the obvious exceptions for attributes which have made
their way into the module by importing and the like. Likewise,
you could have strict functions:

def strict myfunct():

	declare i

	...
