Weak typing usually refers to the idea that operations, not the objects
themselves, decide as what types to manipulate objects.  Dynamic typing
indicates that variables (or bindings) do not have an intrinsic type.

Python is strongly typed, since objects have intrinsic type, and those
types are what determine how operations behave, rather than the reverse.
