Ask HN: Simple but modern Python dev set-up?

Has your current Python development setup failed you yet? Are Python versions preventing you from producing useful software? Are you looking to explore and experiment with setups, or is shipping useful software what counts?

"The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python"[^1] does a tour of the tools that would be very useful. Virtual environments, testing, frameworks, etc.

There was a phrase after the questiona inviting OP not to solve problems they don't have, as worrying about setup before building is a dead giveaway for procrastination. Let me just spend two months figuring out the perfect standing desk, two months fingering oipeoof water cooled stations, and a year mastering an editor.

I couldn't leave it at that and added one resource recommendation. Then I removed the part in the middle, and the result of removing that is straight out of an infomercial.
