It is harder to review Python: 1. Indentation is harder to see in diffs. 2. Explicit types give context, and if a project guidelines do not enforce type hints

It is harder to review Python:
1. Indentation is harder to see in diffs.
2. Explicit types give context, and if a project guidelines do not enforce type hints, as many don't, then it's hard to see what happens there.
3. Monkey patching and operator override -- I mostly stumbled upon that with "smart" types like ORM objects. Combined with 2. makes it very hard to review.
So I almost always had to download the change and review with IDE help. So it's not just code review anymore, it's manual testing.
