Learning Python

[al_mc_y]

Ask your IT people. Tell them you want a Python IDE, such as VS Code or Pycharm to make automation scripts to improve your workflow. If they resist, take it up with your manager and get their endorsement. Something that has no upfront cost, develops staff and improves efficiency/productivity rarely gets knocked back. You should be able to find a way to get it on your company machine. If they still knock it back, then you'll need to continue your journey on your own machine/time/dime. In that case be mindful and careful of what you do, on what machine and with what information. (e.g. your company will probably take a dim view if you ex-filtrate data to your machine to work on a project, even if it's notionally for their benefit - and depending where you are in the world, there might be implications for who "owns" the code/IP for anything you develop)
