That's what I would mean by basic sys-admin skills. And *surprise!* my students don't have them, and don't need them ... until they start using Python. They don't even understand installing packages in conda. If I had my druthers, we wouldn't have classes in Excel and Powerpoint, and we wouldn't have classes in SPSS and SAS, and we wouldn't even have classes in Python -- we'd have classes in envars, registry, and shell scripts/bat files. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/RJAZJLN6W76QONKD3K2UG6BPTOXPWE4D/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
