Learning? No need for learning.

I saw something indescribable today. I was on IRC and someone I know was admiring another user's bot, and asking about using it himself. He declined using the bot from his own computer/our department/on an extra shared shell server we have that can run it. Why? "I don't have Python on my computer. How do I invite your bot into my channel?"

What is the point in having the option to try out something so simple, especially when there are various options open to him, and it's an opportunity to learn something, and declining it because of so simple a reason?

Whatever you're studying, whatever you do, whatever you are interested in, you shouldn't ever pass up on a chance to learn about something you're interested in using.
