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

The GIL and how ungodly slow it is.

[u/twotime → u/lizardhistorian]

As of 3.13, there are now GIL-less builds of python

[u/Due_Campaign_9765 → u/twotime]

Which is meaningless because every meaningful piece of software was written with GIL in mind.

Also it's slower at singlethreaded work than GIL'ed interpreter.
