As a java backend dev mainly working on web services, I wanted to like python, but I have found it really hard to work on a large python project because the auto complete just does not work as well as something like java.

Maybe it is just due to not being as familiar with how to properly setup a python project, but every time I have had to do something in a django or fast api project it is a mess of missing types.

How do you handle that with modern python? Or is it just a limitation of the language itself?

That's 100% an IDE thing. I use Zed (or Emacs or anything else supporting an LSP) and autocomplete is fast and accurate.

Pycharm has been fine. Just disable the AI stuff and you get accurate completion. It even has completion for Django ORM stuff, which is heavily dynamic.

Pycharm has "AI stuff" now?
