Python’s high-level memory management, while simplifying code, can also lead to
issues with memory-intensive applications. The garbage collection mechanism,
though automated, sometimes results in higher memory usage or latency, which can
be detrimental to large data processing tasks.
4. Framework and Library Complexity:
Although Python has a vast library ecosystem, the selection and integration of
frameworks and libraries can be overwhelming, especially for beginners or in
situations where the most efficient tool for a given task is not clear. Additionally,
some libraries are not optimized for newer Python versions, leading to
compatibility issues.
5. Real-time and Low-Level System Constraints:
Python’s interpreted nature and high-level abstractions are generally unsuitable for
real-time systems and applications needing low-level hardware interactions. This
limits its use in embedded systems and some scientific computing applications
where precise control over system resources is required.
6. Dependency and Version Management:
Python’s extensive libraries and dependencies often create issues with dependency
management, version conflicts, and deployment. Managing dependencies across
different development and production environments remains a challenge for many
developers.
