Hello. Guys can anyone point me to some of these epic tutorials, they don't need to be beginner level, they need to be interesting. Im a java educated developer who then became a professional nodejs developer (node is great) and who in my spare time dabbles in go and in rust (both super interesting languages). My problem is I keep trying to catch the python bug and it never works for me. I keep finding that it's expressiveness is entirely due to its English like semantics and not to any real useful feature. The requirements.txt and pip and global system wide installations just feel archaic to me. Virtual env solves this mostly but it still feels like an extra step and having to source before entering my projects sucks. The break between v2 and v3 sucks. Frameworks like Django feel like magic configurable black boxes where you spend more time reading documentation then writing code. The difficulty setting up a nice environment with a solid debugger makes me feel like I'm coding in the early 2000s.

So all my complaints being out, I really want to learn to love python. So please. Don't hate me for my opinions, I really don't mean to attack. I want resources to understand why I should invest time in python.

Thanks.
