To do anything more complex, seems impossible.  Rather than make the impossible become possible, I'd rather focus on things that help me do stuff (like process 100,000 man-hours of work in less than 1 hour).  Learning Python was both fun & frustrating.  If you need to waste time, work with Python.  If you need to do real work, use any on the following: VBA, VB, C#, Java, SQL, R, & Matlab.  I just uninstalled Python and deleted 15 Python books that I found online.  AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!  I feel great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Downloading n tutorials and studying none is certainly
not the best approach.

I tend to agree with you. Now, you can add LibreOffice
to the list and stick with MS Office.
Why keeping an office suite that does not work because
it embeds a scripting language that does not work
on the side of "characters"?
