The way I understand it, the following is allowed in PHP because it's a weakly-typed language.\[code\]$var = 'Hello';$var = 5;\[/code\]I just installed a Windows version of Python 2.6 and I was expecting it NOT to let me change type just like that, but the Python equivalent of the above code works just like in PHP yikes!\[code\]>>> var = "Hello">>> type(var)<type 'str'>>>> var = 5>>> type(var)<type 'int'>\[/code\]Is my understanding of weak/strong typing flawed?
