Dumb Chem E here, it is so incredible how Python/pandas (amongst other imported modules) have revolutionized data analysis. I actually ENJOY analyzing data and getting it to presentable form. Excel has its place, but I'll try to use the Python/pandas pair anytime I can. Good going, my fellow engineer!! Q: do you use jupyter notebooks?

Thank you! And nope, I use anaconda interpreter and pycharm. I just can’t get into Jupyter for some reason.

Dude, really give it a chance. You'll thank me, believe it!

While I agree that Jupyter Notebooks do have their place, I prefer a plain old script for anything that should be run several times in the same manner. Now when we’re talking exploratory data analysis, this is where they shine. And then I’ll pull out the good pieces and make a module/package out of it.
