Those are fair criticisms but I think under Windows, Docker+pip is the worse way of managing it

2 and 4 are surprising, it would be interesting to do a benchmark and maybe figure out the best way to do stuff in Python for your case

About 3, I suppose that's why developers should break up complex expressions (and not only in Python)

Its absolutely true that an untested 1000 line python function is no better than a 1000 line untested VBA function.
