Python is a little bit like JavaScript in that functions introduce a new scope,
but the contents of "if", "while" and friends don't.  The only gotcha is that,
unlike JavaScript, the variable name is not actually bound until the assignment
statement executes.  If you access the variable before the assignment executes
you'll be greeted with a name error.  This is especially important to keep in
mind if only one side of an if/else assigns to a variable.

One typically doesn't do type detection in Python.  What are we trying to do
here?  Avoid callers needing to wrap a string up in a StringIO object before
passing to a function that takes a file-like object?
