weakly typed language

A language in which types may be ignored; the opposite of strongly typed. VBScript is weakly typed. In VBScript, you can concatenate the string ''12'' and the integer 3 to get the string ''123'', then treat that as the integer 123, all without any explicit conversion.

So Python is both dynamically typed (because it doesn’t use explicit datatype declarations) and strongly typed (because once a variable has a datatype, it actually matters).
