Re: Python: Does It Have Strict Mode Or Something?

If you try to read from an uninitialized variable, you'll get a NameError.
Thankfully Python isn't BDSM-oriented enough to have any sort of strict mode. Just part of the dynamic typing and type inference. At least all variables don't default to None, as they do in Ruby, where everything is Nil until initialized...

Hi,
In Perl, you can put use strict. In VB, you can put explicit on. Does Python have something you can do to force you to initialize variables? I'm concerned about accidental misspellings of variable names. 

Thanks.
