Python is strongly typed. There are no static type checks in Python.
Type checks are done at runtime. Dynamic typing does not mean that
Python is a weakly typed language.

The question of debugging is often raised, particularly by Java heads:

In Python, the "doctest" and "unittest" modules can be used to verify
that code works according to specification (e.g. trap type errors),
and are common alternatives to static type checks.

http://docs.python.org/release/3.2/library/unittest.html

It is a good practice to always write tests for your code.

Python 3.x also has function argument and return value type
annotations, which is a further guard against type errors:
