I'm not sure what exactly "Python" has to do with that
Well as he said, a statically typed language is better in that kind of situation because it enables a better class of tooling and the typing system enforces certain style constraints, that enables better quality of code analysis en mass.
Python specifically is very lightweight in this regards with little in the way of naming constraints (vs for instance Ruby having different formatting rules for different types)
So yeah, it’s not “just like any other language” - horses for courses
