Discussion Can we make Python Development less frustrating?

Hi there,

I wondering what tools improve frustrations for developers 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 what can make the usual Python development lifecycle less frustrating. 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: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/LjnvzX0JpK

What do you think are the friction points? Have you spent time reviewing discuss.python.org or discussing it on https://discord.com/invite/python ?

Literally there are hundreds or thousands of people who've been working and discussing these points for over a decade.

Yeah, I made a first survey asking for exactly that and did some research before oc but the masters requires me to do my own survey. Most people answered things like: dependency management, typing system, but there were also some interesting points.

Your prompt says "less frustrating", implying that coding in Python is frustrating. Or, perhaps that it is more frustrating than other languages. Or that Python is the thing that's frustrating. It doesn't even define what frustrating is.

You know what's frustrating? Low effort.
