I second this. Sure, there's a huge value in the beginner-friendly structure that Jupyter notebooks provide, but it's also a limiting factor as it's just a very small subset of the Python experience (I've personally never edited a single .ipynb file in my life)

Note, this is intended for people who will use python for data science, not for future software engineers.

Data scientists using python but not using jupyter notebooks is the exception.

That is correct.

But even then, I think in the future the data scientist role and the data engineer role will converge and the person doing this must know virtual environments.

In the future we will likely have different tools to handle dependencies and environments. If these things aren't immediately useful, it might be worth teaching other stuff instead.

Let's hope poetry will become a standard. Opinionated, I know :)

Fourth time is a charm!
