The Pythonic way is to *enjoy* the freedom and flexibility and power of 
dynamic typing.  If you are stepping out of a static typing language 
into Python, don't step just half way.  Embrace dynamic typing.  (Like 
any freedom, it can bite you at times, but that's no reason to hobble 
Python with static typing.)


Python is both dynamically typed and strongly typed.  If you are 
confusing dynamic/static typing with week/strong typing, see
http://wiki.python.org/moin/Why%20is%20Python%20a%20dynamic%20language%20and%20also%20a%20strongly%20typed%20language
