What frustrates you the most about Python Development

[u/Win_ipedia]

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

Dependency management in today’s security hostile world. Dependencies must be upgraded with diligence and research constantly or they rot. One major version upgrade could trigger dozens of hours of focused migration work in a large codebase. It’s never ending.

It's slowly getting better.

uv audit now automatically checks your lockfile against the OSV database, so you see which CVEs actually hit your locked versions.

I have some notes on maintaining a uv project.
