Same here. Debugging in Python is annoying, I like to step through my code line by line, it's impossible to do it with object-oriented programming language.
Also, there's no good REPL IDE. Spyder barely works with some basic features. PyCharm, the most popular, takes too long to start, and you have to setup folders and directories EVERY SINGLE TIME at startup. ________________________________ From: Python-list <[email protected]> on behalf of songbird <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 3, 2018 12:45:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Overwhelmed by the Simplicity of Python.
