What’s great about Python is the low barrier to entry to get started. You don’t need much more that an installation of Python, a library or two and a script that fits into a single file.
But that’s doesn’t mean Python is easy. As your ambitions become great, so does the effort to make Python code maintainable. The classic XKCD comic exemplifies the mess that is the many attempts to standardise Python packaging.
