agreed, it's not (as mentioned, it's just syntactic sugar). Still, how often is changing the type of a var needed? (besides minor casting issues)
And not saying that dynamic typing doesn't have a place, I really like working in Python, it's just that for more complicated code, prefer statically typed as it leads to less problems with your expressions. To each their own.
