I've said before that this, to me, is one of the major downsides of 
dynamic typing.  Once a statically typed language has been compiled the 
programmer can head down to the pub.  The programmer using dynamically 
typed languages has to hang around doing long, boring, tedious testing. 
  Unless they're using an IDE like Pydev and have Pylint turned on so it 
picks up errors as they type, in which case they can also head down to 
the pub.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask 
what you can do for our language.
