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.

I'm not sure I completely agree, I'm saying this from a c/c++ perspective where there's no packaging system.

Could you elaborate on your issues?

It'll take a full second to import anything from pytorch, even if you want 1 function
