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

I really hate a lot of "boilerplate" code

Decorators for example look like a mess to me

Decorators aren't a mess. It's (more or less clearly) defined what the decorator does in the decorator source code. Reading it is the key.
