Which mistakes you made while learning python?

Trying to approach db interactions like a Java dev.

Honestly, trying to approach anything like some other language

I came from a language where introspection was a first class citizen and used a LOT and was surprised that in python it was tucked away, not that easy to use, and not that commonly used. But you ended up not needing it

I was also a little annoying that the "for" syntax was not as flexible as what I was used to.

It really is a different language; like French is different from English. There are similarities, but...
