> TFA says that Python being dynamic means it is not type-checked at compilation time -- that's practically the same as saying the opposite of "python is strongly typed" for most people's intended meaning of "strongly typed". Strong typing is a weak concept (pun intended). The most useful meaning is, roughly, no or little automatic type coercion (so a numeric tower might still be "strong", but coercing a string "1" into the number 1 is "weak"; `"1" + 1` => `"2"`). Anyone who uses "strong typing" as synonymous with "static typing" is making a very silly mistake.
