It might take months to be be able to use its full power and be efficient (delivering at a high velocity), but as someone who was proficient in python but had never used pandas it took me just over a week to write a process to clean data and produce graphs (with seaborn) to compare sets with boxplots. This incldes anonymizing the data properly and play with different Turkey's fence values for the graphs to make the most sense. This is after people spent weeks, and failed, to try to get a similar process with excel.

It's good to warn people, but let's not scare them.
