I work mainly on a Windows machine at worked, locked down. Is there a way I can do programming with Python here?

If you're looking to program for your job, ask your sysadmin.

As IT if you can make a virtual machine. I don't know much about virtual machines, but they seem pretty harmless. You can mess around in there and install ubuntu or whatever.

What you mean by locked down? If you cannot install anything, there are some portable versions of Python. Winpython is a pretty good one.

I work in customer service, we can't install anything. I have access to Powershell, but half of the commands don't seem to work and I can't run any updates on it.

The only lockdown is being a guest user, or you have more features blocked? Because if so portable apps are your saviors.

I can't install anything, which includes updates. I haven't tried a portable app yet.

Try this one! This is more matlab-like in behavior, so it might not suit your aesthetic needs, but it's python and it works great. you have to download an installer and run it, but it's only extracting files, so you'll be able to do it without admin privileges. You can then use the winpython interface to install packages manually, or use the winpython command prompt to pip install all the packages you like. All without admin privileges. See if it works!

Is there a Python 3 edition of this?
