I'd argue that even though it's well defined behaviour in Python, it still appears to me as a programmer as weak typing. For example, Python lets me write:

  if 23:
      print('hello')

and it'll print 'hello'. But I'd prefer a strongly typed approach where this code would give an error saying, 'a bool is expected here'. Sure it's a subjective thing, and this is just my preference.
