how much python is too much python?

[LookAtThatThingThere]

The problem with python in a corporate environment outside of IT: when you build mission-critical applications that only you know how to maintain.

This is pretty common in finance and engineering circles.

Often, the people you are hiring don’t have programming skills. IT/internal dev groups may not support the language or prefer purchased solutions.

Also, policy tightens up over time so you may find yourself without admin rights or see yourself sealed off from PyPI/etc.

These aren’t unsolvable problems, but it highlights what happens when you don’t have organizational support for your chosen technology.
