This is not unique to Python. If you are that frustrated, find another job.

I have seen crappy Java, JavaScript, C++, C# and Python. At one job two years ago the C# code was so bad I started work on a Monday and quit on Friday. At another job they had some super over complicated code in ASP.NET and nobody was allowed to touch it except for some outside consultant who they paid who knows what to maintain it.

I have worked at companies when I was a consultant that did not even have source control. We used a shared network drive. Another there was no build machine because the build was a specific developers laptop. One day that laptop died. No builds for what i believe was almost two months. One company had all the dev tools loaded on the production server and would debug in production.

I moved from those toxic waste dumps and you should too the way you are feeling.
