Dedicated incremental static type checkers for dynamic languages already exist. In particular, Pyright for Python is fantastic and in many ways surpasses the type systems of classic typed languages
I'm not too familiar with tooling for Python, but my experience is that you get fairly limited support in dynamic languages unless you start adding hints. Ultimately, a static type checker can't resolve information that's not there.
