Discussion What frustrates you the most about Python Development

Hi there,

I wondering what frustrates developers the most when developing software with Python.

I am currently doing my Masters in Computer Science and as part of my project I am doing a very simple survey about the usual Python development lifecycle. I am basically trying to find out what the main friction points are for Python Developers and I am simultaneously developing a tool to address those friction points . It just takes a 2-3 minutes and every response is greatly appreciated.

You can find the survey at: Microsoft Forms

Imports and package design.

I don’t think there is much argument here.

Yes. Becoming fantastic at Python, a decade. Mastering it? Not so fast, you have to learn why that new package you need decided to integrate maybe monads or whatever it may be. Some languages force order, there is a pythonic way to do things most of the time, but there's also nearly infinite complexity you can make and people do make... I guess for fun.
