Do you mean strongly typed langauge?

You are wrong, Python is a strongly typed language. Perhaps you are
confusing strong/weak with dynamic/static? These attributes are
orthogonal to each other. Python is a strongly and dynamicly typed language.

The visitor pattern is required for double dispatching in *some* OO
language like C++, to work around issues with inheritance and function
overloading. Python's OO works differently.
