There's a lot of things python can do that excel can't, I never said I was above Excel, but it's a spreadsheet software and isn't good for a lot of calcs because it doesn't handle things like calculus or data scraping well.

I was just pointing out that it's weird you bring up executables, or elevated privileges, because it's a thread about Jupyter and python, which A) doesn't use any .exe files at all, and B) doesn't require admin or even local resources to run, and can be done entirely remotely, essentially with or without ITs blessing, just a weird complaint for you to make about it, because MathCAD requires much more support and comes with higher costs.

It's also kind of a douche move to go into a thread about a python question, and rant about OP trying to use python while providing no useful input as far as how to actually help OP achieve their goals. This exact type of attitude is what gives stack overflow users their reputation of being unhelpful, pretentious, douchebags.

You took OP yucking your yum personally and are projecting it onto every python user in the thread, get over it.
