They're all weakly typed languages but C is statically typed.

Python is generally considered quite strongly typed, though dynamic. That is because Python has relatively few implicit conversions, and especially few that are surprising ("1" + 1 is an error, not 2 or "11"; and unsigned short + unsigned short does not equal a signed int).
I think parent didn't say anything to the contrary, or maybe it was edited?
