You're confusing static typing with strong typing. Python is strongly-typed, but not statically typed.

Python's optional typing could also be used to get rid of a lot of your assertions.

You are confusing optional typing with optional static typechecking. Python has the latter, not the former. In other words, everything is typed in Python and it will always check types at runtime.
