    I can understand the cloud part. they wanted it work on the web and phones. They do know many businesses don’t want cloud, so I see a good chance they’ll ship it with embedded Python eventually.

      Phones can also run Python and web is already a pretty separate version, I don’t see why they can’t only make the web version cloud.

        At least iPhone apps usually redirect Python tasks to their servers. That’s one reason there are projects like Tensorflow Light.

          For instance? All the python apps I’ve downloaded so far seem to function offline.

              That’s just machine learning which is very resource consuming. It has no relation to your purported case of phones redirecting all python tasks to servers.

                Okay, I dug more to find out I’m wrong.

                But isn’t ML technology a thing Excel offers with its new Python interface?
