Microsoft is bringing popular programming language Python to Excel. A public preview of the feature is available today, allowing Excel users to manipulate and analyze data from Python.

You won’t need to install any additional software or set up an add-on to access the functionality, as Python integration in Excel will be part of Excel’s built-in connectors and Power Query. Microsoft is also adding a new PY function that allows Python data to be exposed within the grid of an Excel spreadsheet. Through a partnership with Anaconda, an enterprise Python repository, popular Python libraries like pandas, statsmodels, and Matplotlib will be available in Excel.

A simple check? Then a prompt to download the expected version?

This isn't rocket science. This is Microsoft forcing people to continually pay them.

Would something like this work for the web or Teams versions of Excel?

Regardless, I agree. The license and remote only execution are horrible.
