From my experience the only issue I has with Python is refactoring or
massive changes in the project.
There are cases where you want to change type of variable, function return
type or argument and ask a compiler to find all places it is used.
Could you please give a little more detailed example?
For now, I can't see how that could cause any trouble. Since there's
no "function oveloading" in python, all the places where it is used ==
all the places it is referred to (by name), so any simple search would
work.
Changing the prototype of your argument/return type, you either break
the semantics - in which case you will have to find and modify ALL
occurences, or, in some cases you do not (i.e. - new type supports all
protocols that previous one did), in which case it should "just work"
without changing anything (as would a C++ code which is fully
templated on the arguments).
