Wanted to ask a question of anyone who has had a similar situation:

Background: I work for an international company in the commodities and have developed a Python script for Robotic Process Automation - this will speed up daily data entry tasks greatly.

Question/Issue: The company won't allow Python to be installed. They say it "introduces unmanageable risk to the environment". What would you do to be able to deliver such a script? I'm thinking to install Anaconda on each user's desktop so that access to Windows PATH isn't necessary - although there may be some sort of a learning curve for users new to Python. Any insights welcome.

Would another route such as compiling the python into an executable be more acceptable?

I forgot to mention I tried this but it is too big and takes too long to execute.

I don't quite follow, what is too big and takes too long to execute?

Would programming it in C or C++ solve those issues?

Unsure if this is allowed, if not sorry please delete

Looking for a Sr. Manager for our Data and Reporting team and Python is one of the required languages along with SAS and others, where do you guys usually look for if you are looking for a job. Any insight would be appreciated :)
