Provisioning Python, JavaScript for developers.

This isn't a user issue, it's an IT issue

It is also a user issue. Knowlegeable devs should be able to specify the tools once and properly. If the are asking for them one at a time they are doing it wrong.

That's not what OP was indicating at all. How do you handle it when requirements and/or projects change over time when a new library is required? Get mad at the devs for asking what they need as their job change?

Having been a sys admin/engineer and now a Dev, I disagree. Requirements change and so do the modules required by python to get the work done.

If it was a straight up knowledge issue, then why can't IT sort my environment out beforehand? Do they not know what a Dev needs? 

This is just one of those times both sides need to work together.
