One of the advantages of, e.g., Java, Perl, Python, is that a lot of specialized packages are available. Taking advantage of that often entails dowloading from aa repository, whether via pip or by some other means. So if your shop doesn't allow downloading and installing open software, the key questions are
1. What level of Python is included in the SDK? 2. What packages are included? 3. What does your shop need? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Going forward, most shops will have Python available by default (or at least if they do not specifically avoid installing it) -- is that right?
