If Python were statically typed, you might be correct.
A _value_ in python has a type, not a variable.  so, you can do:
    some_list = []
    for a in None, True, 1, 1.0, 3.1j, 'text', u'text':
        some_list.append(a)
    print some_list
and you will see something like:
[None, True, 1, 1.0, 3.1000000000000001j, 'text', u'text']
That is, a has the type of its current value.
any kind of object can be stored in any variable.
