And I, not my language, should pick and chose how to be rigorous. The language
should not make the decision for me.

Since you seem unwilling to put the minimal effort into producing the
support code you'd need to work with Python the way you want, perhaps
Perl might be more to your liking?

Oh well, your language does. Deal with it, or pick another language.

P.S. Actually, Python has ways to request no expection when it's
actually useful, e.g. the get method of dicts, but not when it's
ridiculous and stupid like int() returning zero on error.

You can always easily make your program less rigorous than the language,
but the reverse is generally very difficult. So a rigorous language
gives you the choice, why a non-rigorous language does not.
