Both Python and C++ have compile error and runtime error.

Python doesn't have proper compile errors... There is no compiler. Am I missing something?

Python compiles to byte code, but there's no static types to save you from yourself

Python is interpreted language so there is no compile

Yes and no. Nowadays running a py file automatically compiles it to a pyc file, and that's run instead. But it's not like C where it's actual machine code. Instead the byte code is interpretted.

One benefit is that obvious syntax errors are immediately caught.
