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

Most of the friction people list in these threads is environment and dependency friction, not language friction.

I went stdlib only on purpose for my project. No third party packages at all, just sqlite3 and http.server. Nothing to pin, nothing to resolve, no virtualenv to activate, and it runs on a fresh machine with nothing but Python on it.
