The Python type system SIG

This list has been created for discussions on issues related to Python's type system.

Recently, the types SIG has come under attack for inactivity, and in response Paul Prescod has offered to guide the SIG towards accomplishing a single specific goal: to develop an optional static typing system for Python. The December 1999 archives of the SIG show the discussion that lead to this decision.
