[Tutor] Python Saved the Day

[wesley chun]

Congrats! I love hearing stuff like this... keep them coming! I'm curious
as to how Python was able to help you get your job done this time (without
going into anything confidential naturally). What was it about the
language? Or was it specific Python modules/packages you used for the
analysis?

Does anyone else have similar stories? (I think I may be biased as I use
Python for everything, trouble or otherwise, so I can't tell the difference
anymore!)

cheers,
-wesley
