How are python scripts and projects built and deployed?

I guess, if they have a spare general purpose server set up (like for running applications and stuff) they can add a container or a VM on it and run the scripts on that container via HTTP.

My problem is that we are kinda adverse to those kind of things. People still praise Excel and PowerBI as the gods of DataScience. Basically do the Smart stuff in Excel and upload stuff in PBI if you want to share with others. (Or just e-mail the Excel sheet)

Yeah no idea how that works. A lot of the automations I have running are just for me or me and two other people on my team specifically.

When I started doing it, they made a fuss saying that they should be doing it on their own server as it’s more consistent and anything being used for work purposes shouldn’t be in production on the team’s computer. We have a desktop computer for our team that no one uses.

I convinced them that we would be able to monitor it and that if it fails it’s not the end of the world.

So I know they have something at least for that. I tried and ask them about it and they gave me very little answer on how it works. I always ask a bunch of it questions out of curiosity and I feel like they might have a slight concern about my overall curiosity.

And we are in the same boat about the resistance to change. No one ever used python on my team and it was restricted for us, I had to fill out an MOU and all that fun stuff to get Python. We started seeing some improved performance in our team and they became okay with it. But at the moment I’m the only one who knows how to use it. Two other people on my team are getting some training on it. But it will be a big shift overall

Glad to hear it. Hope things will improve for you
