The only two (or perhaps one and a half) languages you used as reference 
were C and C++. Which you said 'Like in C, C++, etc, Python too is 
strongly typed'. What has PHP got to do with it? How does PHP's typing 
have anything to do with Python's?

Typing in C and C++ is different to Python.

int c = 0;
c = "fred";

No can do in C and C++.

c = 0
c = "fred"

No problem in Python.

So just how is Python strongly typed 'like in C, C++, etc'?
