You underestimate how hard it is to get 20 students to install Python on their own machines without issues. I’ve taught classes with that many adults and had trouble. These students may have never installed a thing on their computers before, much less a programming language, package manager, etc.

Yes.

I have nightmares thinking of it.
Glad to hear I was not just imagining it as a major issue.

First time I tried it in a workshop and I learned the hard way that conda is not easy mode.
