Are the critiques in "All the things I hate about Python" valid?

The array module's failure to support the specific type you want has no 
bearing on whether or not Python is statically typed.

The question isn't "does Python provide you with every imaginable 
homogeneous array type you might ever want?", we already know the answer 
to that is no.

The question is your claim that Python objects aren't strongly typed, and 
your obvious attempt to avoid answering my challenge is answer enough. If 
you could meet the challenge, you would have done it.
