The assumptions in that question are misleading.  In fact, Python, with 
it's dynamic nature and other features, allows me to write fewer lines 
of code with fewer bugs-per-line.  That's a win-win situation, not a 
problem which needs to be worked around.

Still, when bugs do creep into code, the best strategy to find them is a 
good testing strategy.
