Yes, though both static typing and naming of parameters will have an
effect, insofar as the Python interpreter will report a type error
in case I mistype a parameter name.  Pylint will catch the error
at "compile time":

$ cat catch.py

def newline(times=1):
    for run in range(times):
        print

newline()
newline(count=2)



$ pylint --errors-only catch.py
No config file found, using default configuration
************* Module catch
E:  7: Passing unexpected keyword argument 'count' in function call


$ python catch.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "catch.py", line 7, in <module>
    newline(count=2)
TypeError: newline() got an unexpected keyword argument 'count'
