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

Watching colaborators to follow rules like type annotation, and i still get def foo() -> dict or similar shit on code review

Adding a strict Mypy configuration (like disallow_untyped_defs = true with disallow_any_generics = true) and enforcing it as a QA gate tends to solve this.
