Sure, but Python *encourages* it.  Python makes it *easy*.  Writing
test-harness wrappers so that you can test the component you're
currently building usually takes an hour at the most -- and you can use
that for QA later on if you wish.

I think, though, that it's to Python's advantage that it came late
enough to the game to leverage a lot of component technologies (database
access and DCOM/Corba/XML-RPC and sockets in general).
