Python’s ecosystem is held up to a high standard, but it falls short in a few key areas. A handful of crucial APIs are an absolute pain to work with. We’ll go over where these APIs went wrong and learn about strong and elegant API design. The high barriers to entry in Python will be discussed. Potential solutions will be proposed.

Unfortunately, solving simple problems with Python isn't always 'import antigravity'. Best practices are sometimes far from obvious. This talk will analyze the high barriers of entry that clutter the Python landscape. We'll discuss ways to make Python more accessible for newcomers and less of a headache for seasoned veterans.
