The fact that Perl has vague distinctions between strings and numbers has very little to do with the situation at hand. The problem with the billennium bug is that there's a risk that programmers did not allocate enough digits to hold a date correctly; since both Perl and Python reallocate memory to handle larger values internally, your Python will succeed or fail in an equal number of situations as Perl. It's not an issue of the actual program language, the issue is how the date is persistently stored when the program ends (a database, columnar text file, or whatever).

You're not flamebait because you're a Python bigot, you're flamebait because your post is an invalid rant and off-topic.
