> What can one do to swiftly detect this type of bug? While I can only speak from my own experience I can't remember a single instance where this type of bug caused any kind of serious problem. IMHO these are very trivial errors, that get caught immediately and I would not even qualify them as bugs, more like typos, spelling mistakes, etc.
Real bugs are a lot more insidious than that, and they might even occur more frequently if there was type checking ... since it might even lead to longer code just my $0.01 Istvan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
