My "OK" is on your edit where variables in python are now described as being similar to my, rather than implying that they are equivalent ;-). As a compromise, I can also change my statement into:

Python doesn't have sane lexicals.

    not sure if I introduced "similar" now, but I certainly wrote "More or less" right from the begining! :-P

    I think it's a bit messy that we use "lexical" for scope and variable in Perl.

    That's why the documentation for our is confusing, it binds a symbol inside a lexical scope to a non-lexical variable.

    Everything has a price, code looks tidier but no chance to have strict checking.
