Another way to put it is, Java is way more picky than Python. Much of this is a consequence of Python's dynamic typing - you never declare the type of anything in Python. This alone saves a ton of (finger) typing. Also exceptions in Python don't have to be declared, like unchecked exceptions in Java. It's a matter of some debate whether the extra strictness of Java provides enough safety to be worth the cost.
