• Jupyterlab Desktop

  Thank for answering. I understand that the interpreter situation can be annoying. There is WinPython [0] to circumvent that to some degree. I feel like if I don’t do it the „VSCode and py-file“ way, it’ll be more and more difficult to keep everything together when teaching about modularity and putting functions in helper scripts, putting tests in other directories and such.

• How do I package my python code into an executable I can send to my friend who does not have python?

  I'm going to give you one more suggestion. I have had a couple situations where it was better to just put Python in a self-contained, portable directory using WinPython. You can make a portable Python distribution with all the libraries and whatnot loaded with pip, and then just put a batch file in the parent directory that calls the portable python executable and your script.

• Why doesnt Python add itself to PATH on Windows?

  Unpopular opinion: Use WinPython, it's portable and isolated to the folder you install it. The normal version contains all the stuff you need like Jupyter notebook, numpy, matplotlib etc.., the dot version has nothing but a standard python. I'm using WinPython for 5 years in windows now had 0 problems. You can choose whether to make it portable or not in WinPython Control Panel. Source: over 3 years ago

• I was hired partly because of my knowledge of python, but head of IT won’t let me install it…

  Have a look at WinPython for a Python distribution you can unzip anywhere. (On that page, the "dot" versions only contain a minimalist Python, you can then use PIP and virtual environments to install what you need, if you have network access. The non-dot versions contain a lot of useful libs and IDEs, but they are big.). Source: over 3 years ago
