It would appear that you are the 'dumbass' since Python is most definitely strongly typed.
Try running this command... python -c 'print "3"+2' ... and you'll get a type error, it won't automatically cast the 123 to "123". You might find this link useful Strong vs Weak typing.
AFAIK Perl is a variant-bound language and as such isn't strongly typed, although I'm no Perl guru so I could be wrong.
Typing... perl -e 'print "3"+2' ... does result in 5 suggesting that it is indeed weakly typed.
I do agree that Python is much easier to read than Perl:-)
I fail to see how this will save Sun, when was the last to you read an article say how Solaris was better than it's competitors? When was the last time you read an article about Solaris for that matter!
Also why would anyone buy an Intel-based server from Sun, a relative newcomer to the market, when you could choose someone who specializes in them, and isn't trying to flog a competing product at the same time?
