You can use annotations in Python3, which might help you get some benefits of static typing.

However if static typing were to be completely enforced in Python, then it won't be Python anymore. It's a duck-typed dynamic language, and would loose all dynamism as a result. If you really intend to use a statically-typed language, you are better off not using Python.
