Please let not forget the context.

You said:
"I'm new to Python",

and then :
"if I *want* strong static type-checking, why shouldn't I be able to get 
it?"

You obviously don't know Python enough to understand why static 
typechecking doesn't belong to Python. Trying to explain would be a 
waste of time, because you have to experiment it in real-life situation 
to fully understand.

So to put things briefly, Python with static typechecking would not be 
Python anymore - it would be another language. Which implies that if you 
want static typechecking, you'll have to use another language one way or 
another.
