Ha, Pandas just to parse a website is a bit extra, I’d say. But yeah, it’s weird that you need libraries and api endpoints to do basic tasks these days. It feels like something broke around 2015-ish. Going back, you could make a whole app and gui with Basic. You could make whole websites simply with HTML+PHP, sometimes using nothing but Notepad. You could make portable apps in Java with no libraries - even Swing or whatever was built in. Now…? Electron, a few languages, a few frameworks, and a few dozen libraries. Just to start. Bizzare.
