I maintain and develop a large code base written in (mainly) Python with some C thrown in here and there. It was maintained and developed by a number of people before me over several years, who have come and gone. And yes while there is rust and cobwebs, I don't attribute any maintenance issues to the fact it is Python or a dynamic language, but rather higher level design decisions about interfaces and boundaries and responsibilities. Often some module that wasn't supposed to know something all of a sudden needs to know due to some new/changed requirement, and redrawing data flows and structures to ensure the right information is where it needs to be can be challenging. But this situation can be applicable to a system developed in any language - if anything Python's flexible data structures makes it easy to accomplish such re-engineering. The last time I tried to do anything in Java, I was instructed to "just run the maven build script". After watching that flaming train wreck I walked away and haven't looked back since.
