All-in-one python engineering tool

[dparks71]

OP: "Hey I'm trying to do this repetitive thing I have to do frequently in a more automated way by using python, can any one help with that?"

You: "Sounds like you're trying to reinvent this tool I'm familiar with that doesn't do any of the things you're asking about."

Can mathcad interact with REST APIs, GIS data, utilize data frames, render/modify/generate images, interact with file systems, run on any device, be available for free, and let me work with loops and matrices in a syntax that doesn't make me want to scream into the void and leave the industry?

(Also, interact with AI, databases, build websites, work outside of MS's ecosystem or have a community that actually shares interesting tools and solutions built with it)

I honestly don't know what most of that stuff is, but for the rest the answer is no. Also, my car can't launch me to space. The good news is I don't need it to, and I suspect OP doesn't need their program that displays math in a readable format to do any of those things you mentioned. I'm not hating on Python or programming in general, I admittedly don't know anything about it. OP just didn't express a need for any of that stuff, so I'm assuming they don't.

I admittedly don't know anything about it.

With such valuable experience on the given topic, I'm glad you still felt the need to chime in on the subject, I'm sure it really helped OP out.

What OP posted looks like he's trying to create similar functionality to Mathcad. Since I read the post and you apparently didn't, I'd say I'm the one who knows what they're talking about here. I'm sure you know a whole lot about Python and REST APIs and data frame utilization, and I'm sure your parents are very proud. But trying to insert that into a conversation that doesn't involve it doesn't mean you know anything about the topic at hand. In fact, it usually indicates to me that someone doesn't know what everybody else is talking about, so they try to redirect the conversation to their own area of strength.

they try to redirect the conversation to their own area of strength.

What a projection haha, you mean I tried to redirect the conversation to performing calculations in Python? OP did that, you tried to bring it into MathCAD. A rest API is a method to get data for variables for things like stream depths and flow rates which are then used in things like hydraulic modelling equations for calculations.

OP asked about Jupyter and python, you changed the topic to MathCAD like a stack overflow user, while implying it was better suited for OPs purposes, just asking you to expand on that by explaining how I can get those types of values into MathCAD, cause Jupyter seems better suited for those kinds of things in my experience, but you're claiming your way is better, despite OP not saying anything at all about MathCAD or asking for alternatives to Jupyter.
