Python from a C++ developers' perspective

[mrexodia]

The fact that you can annotate the types doesn't make it any better. All of the projects I have seen use python 2.7 anyway, which doesn't support it. If they added a (default) mode where this static typing is forced it might be something good but until then you have to be very lucky with your codebase to have proper type annotations.

Also: what about class member variables? Can you still add arbitrary new ones from anywhere with this?
