I am from Java world and I wonder what is so great about dynamic typing in Python besides missing errors while compiling the code?
Do you like Python's typing? Do you have an example where it helped in a big project? Isn't it a bit error prone?
For example, you can write functions
  to which you can pass an integer as
  well as a string or a list or a
  dictionary or whatever else, and it
  will be able to transparently handle
  all of them in appropriate ways (or
  throw an exception if it cannot handle
  the type). You can do things like that
  in other languages, too, but usually
  you have to resort to (ab)use things
  like pointers, references or
  typecasts, which opens holes for
  programming errors, and it's just
  plain ugly.
