As already stated by others, Python is strongly typed, the fact is that the 
type of an object is embeded with the object itself, not by the name you give 
him at different place in a program.

But in fact you effectively re-use names in your programs, it's the basic of 
the language.

Think of the following lines :

a, b = 0, 1
a += b
a, b = b, a

s = "foo"
s = s.upper()
