I thought I had invented the term for my Java IAQ, but it also shows up at the very informative About.com Urban Legends site. There are lots of Python FAQs around, but this is the only Python IAQ, except for the Chinese translation of this page by Weiyang Chen, the Russian translation by Alexander Sviridenko, and the Japanese translation by Akihiro Takizawa. (There are a few Infrequently Asked Questions lists, including a satirical one on C.) What never? Well, hardly ever. Wrong. (In Python notation 1j is an imaginary number, a square root of -1.) As for the first part of the question, "Polymorphism is great", I would agree, but Python sometimes makes it difficult because many Python types (such as sequence, and number) are defined informally. Literally, yes and no; but for practical purposes, no. You can. Yes.
