Python in Excel could have been amazing, except Microsoft executes it in a cloud environment and require a Cloud Service account to even open spreadsheets with it in. I'd strongly recommend people avoid Python in Excel, it is a Trojan Horse into forcing you to subscribe to access your own spreadsheets.

It’s ironic that Microsoft was founded to provide software for microcomputers where the whole idea was that you own the CPU and don’t need to pay anyone or ask permission for access. And now they’re full circle back to mandating the timeshare computing model even though the local CPU has incredible performance. Maybe they should rename to Centralsoft.

  That idea was long gone by the time they were selling Xenix, or years later bought Citrix's work to create RDP foundations.

AFAIK, Python in Excel is fine, but only if you don't use Microsoft's: https://www.xlwings.org/ https://www.xlwings.org/
