- ivirshup 3y agoAnaconda distributions aren't exactly small. I'd also assume there's some sort of environment isolation, so you're getting multiple copies. Maybe one per workbook?
- ptx 3y agoThe embeddable package from python.org [1] is 20 MB unpacked. To install different sets of packages per workbook, just have Excel automatically set the module path as appropriate.

- Zuiii 3y agoNo need to use Anaconda or any general purpose venv solution. Microsoft screwed this up.
- CivBase 3y agoAgreed. They could have easily shipped it with something like MicroPython.
