Type errors/misuses aren't my biggest problem and Go's type system isn't very powerful. The Python code is smaller, more expressive, easier to review, etc. I have more confidence in the correctness of pylinted Python code. I wouldn't jump to trade conciseness for compile-time type safety, particularly for applications, because it's easier to create/not see a logic error in heavy code. And depending on what you're doing, Python's type system may be more powerful/appropriate.
