yes, Python is strongly typed which is much better than Javascript's weak types.. but, still the dynamic types mean that potential bugs are not caught by compiler but the runtime (that means live Production environment!!).

Static vs Dynamic type - based on WHEN the types are checked.. i.e., during compilation phase or runtime phase

Strong vs Weak type - based on HOW strict or loose the type check is. i.e., weak types make many implicit assumptions and are very liberal in allowing different types to be referenced interchangeably or added together.
