Web requests are \very\ slow compared to CPU computations, not to mention that time has to be doubled since it’s a two-way route.
Sure, but it happens once. So as long as Python saves you more than the half second or so round trip, it’ll be preferable.
I’d prefer it to be embedded, but I can absolutely see it being useful even if it’s cloud-only.
Wouldn’t it need to send to the cloud and back every time you change one of the cells the script is depending on?
Yup, most likely. I’m saying the total calculation w/ Excel formulas is often greater than that round trip + computation time w/ Python. Excel formulas are pretty slow.
I haven’t seen how they were slower than just python.
