> Python doesn't do runtime type checking I don't know what you're defining "runtime type checking" as, but it absolutely does. You can't stuff a bool into an int, you can't stuff any arbitrary byte into a str. For the most part, it's strongly typed, but str falls down by allowing non-Unicode values into its set of values. > If this is a non-theoretical problem at your end, a stricter language might well be called for. … Python is plenty well suited to the task, if not for bugs in the implementations of its types.
