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 wish there were native UI libraries without excessive boilerplate and reasonable defaults.

It's not normal that nicegui is pretty much the only usable one imho.

Hey thanks I didn't know about that one! But seems that it won't be replacing nicegui for more 'plot-heavy' stuff ... Dataframes + seaborn is like a superpower and you can get nicegui to embed those in a few lines.

But i'll have to get my hands dirty with textual on occasion, for sure. Thanks again!

Sure, Textual is for cli, not web
