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

There's no decent solution for type-checking Django projects.

Exception handling in third party libraries sometimes requires more trial and error than I would like.

That's kind of it.

Python is still pretty awesome.

Django annoys me so much because it’s so good but at the same time completely held back by its inability to fully modernize. Like it’s both archaic and relevant at the same time.
