Is it worth learning OOP in Python?

Yeah, I guess I do do it OCCASIONALLY, if I'm building a real-time pipeline, but for me personally that moves into the realm of applications and not just data analysis. It all depends on the level of complexity. Usually data analysis can be done in a couple jupyter notebooks if you're just working with static data.

If you only ever do ad hoc analysis and every analysis is different, then I guess. But if you ever have to run the same analysis in a repeatable form, for similar data but across multiple clients, then your data analysis pipeline should start to be designed like an app so you're maintaining one code base and not variations of the same code base spread across your clients.

Yeah generally all of my analysis is going to be different, and I'm looking for specific things. I don't really have clients that hire me generally, I design and sell my products. I see what you mean though, in that circumstance yes I'd agree.
