This issue isn't about authoring the script, is about why it needs to execute on the cloud rather locally.
This happened in my old place - also on the business side. Asked for python, got it, then had it immediately removed because of security risks.
I told the head that I could still access tables and shit via excel if I wanted so what does it matter? He didn't realise this, and asked that I told no-one else it could be done. FFS.
