All Python programmers know the answer: the lack of static checks is much less important than you would imagine. For Python, you can run pylint from time to time to perform lint-like "static" checks. They are often useful. But most of the time, when I make a programming mistake, Python politely tells me about it. Proper unit tests that cover code also reduce the importance of static checks. But the point is this: you will be shocked at how little static checks matter. Edward -------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward K.
