But you can learn Python with Anaconda. At the point you are sophisticated enough to outgrow it, wouldn’t you be better offering a drink or two to your sysadmin friend and have them fix it? As an analogy- It may be just as easy to do, but I’ll never bother to change the spark plugs in my car - I’ll have someone knowledgeable do it. Do I think it’s hard? No. Do I think I have better ways to spend my time? I do.
