Way more important than IDE support is developers writing wall-to-wall unit 
tests as they write their features, _before_ refactoring them. [If they don't, 
they aren't "decent" developers, either!;]

Don't even call it "refactoring" without test support!

That is bizarre and inconceivable, given Python's typing is almost as static as 
thoses's.

(Yes yes yes Python does not force you to declare _every_ type. Just _many_ of 
them...)

Write scads of unit tests!
