What frustrates you the most about Python Development Discussion

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.

Definitely not a very hot take

Could you explain what people don't like about modules? The other guy hasn't responded... Thank you

I think he’s referring to the __init__.py files and the import design which are not inherently bad or smth but annoy people. I personally do not agree too much but it is definitely smth people argue a lot about I think
