I am of the belief that currently, Python is actually two very similar programming languages sharing the same name. This certainly isn't a surprise to anyone who's been using Python for a while. What might be a surprise, though, is that I think this is actually a good thing. The languages, let's call them untyped Python and typed Python, even though sharing a very large common base are fundamentally different in how they enable the developers using them to solve problems.
