OP here. The implication was that the organization cannot deliver consistent guidelines. The devs of the sim I am working on are using Python and Jupyter on their systems, which were accredited and approved in the exact same fashion that I need my corresponding data analysis network approved. However, the IA professionals -- who are the same people who approved the sim dev systems -- are telling me that my request for Python (actually I'm requesting an enterprise license for Anaconda Python distribution) is problematic for the reasons I spelled out in my original post. Consistency, clarity, and understanding are what I'd like. But, these same IA people also get confused when I mention "highly technical terms" like the size of the SAN I'm planning on using.
