I apologize for my mistake!
Indeed I found some discussion threads to the different points by
checking the python.org-search. Especially the differences to JAVA and
C++ was obviously discussed at about 2001. I will study the expressed
arguments carefully and try to compare the different concepts. I also
will try to read the developers discussion threads - I have not found
yet. Hopefully I am convinced afterwards.
But befor the proof of the Discussion threads: Sometimes ideas may also
be interesting? For instance to make something static by a simple
keyword static? (An Argumrnt that counts may be, the very simple use of
it and the explaining of concept free of syntax bloat for introductory
lectures to programming?) But there may be a reason, that there is not
such a concept in python - I may find it.
Again, sorry for my ignorance!
