Your example is bang on when describing a "strongly typed" language. That said, strongly typed is different from "static typing", which is what you described later in your post. Python is both strongly typed and dynamically typed. It is all rather confusing and just a big bowl of awful. I have to look up if I haven't referenced it in a while, because the names are far too similar and there aren't even good definitions around some of the concepts.
