Python's import system would be my biggest complaint about the language. I've used Python for more than ten years, but there are so many pitfalls with regards to imports that I still have to look things up on a regular basis. What makes things even worse is that packages sometimes even meddle with how imports work. (See e.g. Tensorflow – I recently had to debug the import magic they're doing. It was a nightmare.)

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Python! It's my go-to language for both small and big tasks. But sometimes I do wish Python had a function like PHP's require()… (Obviously for package-local imports, not for importing other packages.)
